My Heart's Prayer

Let not my heart be numb to You

Let not my lips be dumb to You

Cut me deeply, Lord, let me feel it

My dearest sin, Lord, please reveal it

My tears of sorrow, wipe them dry

 Attend Thine ear unto my cry

Have me desire Your will alone

Instead of secretly wanting mine be done

Pierce my soul with Your holiness, please,

In contrast to myself, let it bring me to my knees

Fill me to the rim with your fullness, oh God

‘Til lesser loves have no room to climb their way to the top

Robe me in your righteousness, teaching me to trust

No one else can do a work in me because only You must

Cause me to submit to Your word and then rest

Knowing that, with every trial, You’re seeking my best

Make Heaven seem sweeter while this world grows dim

Saying, “I will fear no ill, because I’m depending on Him!”

Humble me to the dust, if that’s the measure You need

To have absolute sway over my being and lead

I don’t know what You have in my path up ahead

But give me the strength to not worry or dread

Increase my faith and my thankfulness, drown me in love

And prepare me for my ultimate goal, Thy glory above
