Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God
- Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God,
In every part with praise,
That my whole being may proclaim
Thy being and Thy ways. - Not for the lip of praise alone,
Nor e'en the praising heart,
I ask, but for a life made up
Of praise in every part: - Praise in the common things of life,
Its goings out and in;
Praise in each duty and each deed,
However small and mean. - Fill every part of me with praise;
Let all my being speak
Of Thee and of Thy love, O Lord,
Poor though I be and weak. - So shall no part of day or night
From sacredness be free,
But all my life, in every step,
Be fellowship with Thee.

July 22, 2009morine kingbridgetown, west indies, BarbadosI love this hymn because it was one of my mother's favorite songs. Being the mother of thirteen children I guess it was like a morning prayer to her. Fill Thou my life O Lord my God in every part with praise. What praise and adoration to her God. I know she really felt His presence in her life as she sang boldly: fill Thou my life O Lord my God in every part with praise. Amen.
May 28, 2009Geoff NelsonWhittier, California, United StatesThis song is yet another example for me of the power and depth of many old hymns, compared the the shallow, reality-denying nature of many Praise songs and choruses in vogue today.
Oct. 21, 2004Lawrence GateiBoston, MA, U.S.A.I am deeply impressed with this hymn because the experience of praising the Lord in Christian life is perhaps the highest work carried out by God's children. A fellow believer once said that "we can say that the highest expression of a saint's spiritual life is his praise to God. God's throne is the highest point in the universe" country="yet He sits 'enthroned upon the praises of Israel (Psa. 22:3). God's name and even God Himself are exalted through praise." I pray that the the Lord may grant me a praising life—not just praising lips and a praising heart. Oh how enjoyous it is to praise the Lord. King David was a happy man because his life was a praising life. God testified concerning David that he was a man after God's heart. The word in in Psalms 8 say that the Lord ordained praise out of the mouth of the little ones to defeat His enemy and rapindly end his days. So when we praise we enthrone the Lord and expedite the ending of our God's enemy, Satan.
Jan. 15, 2003Johanna CunananManila, PhilippinesThe Lord has enlightened me that when I'm in constant fellowship with the Lord, then spontaneously, I will have a life of praising the Lord in all things! How wonderful it would be to be delivered from all care and self-introspection to be joined to the Lord always, to see things as He sees them, to have the mind of Christ, enjoying and declaring His victory!
