Oh Lord, for this I pray

1
Oh Lord, for this I pray: Make my heart the good earth
So that You may grow in me, grow and grow continually.
Oh Lord, may this living incorruptible seed
Within me enlivening, grow unto maturity.
  Let Your life within me saturate,
Let Your life within me permeate.
May all Your fulness be expressed through me
And my being be conformed to Thee.
2
Renew my mind, oh Lord, day by day dispense Your life;
My wandering thoughts purify completely;
Replace my will, oh Lord, with Your will that I would say
“Oh Lord, Amen,” always trusting You, following You.
3
Increase my love for You so that I would love You,
Return Your love with Yours, responding to Your call;
Reveal more of Yourself to me so I can see
Your divine economy, shine on me Your speaking.

This is the only site that has these songs of heart longing for God. People seem to be dogmatic and fail to believe, see, and feel God's love for us. Thank you so much for this site, where I can find a spirit of love and submission to God in song and verse.

This is my deepest prayer to the Lord - "Renew my mind, oh Lord, day by day dispense Your life; My wandering thoughts purify completely; Replace my will, oh Lord, with Your will ..." This is a metabolic change - His life completely replacing ours. Praise the Lord for "day by day" ...this work of transformation is not an overnight event...but "day by day"...

Oh Lord how we thank You and praise You for Your desire to dispense Yourself into Your chosen people, to build Yourself in us, and build us into You to share in life and nature. Oh Lord, Amen for Your economy, Your plan, Your heart's desire-the One New Man, a corperate entity for eternity-The New Jerusalem. How Glorious.
