God's Central Work and Purpose

Grant me by the riches of Your glory to be strengthened
With power through Your Spirit into my inner man,
That Christ may make His home in all of my heart through faith.

Lord, Your purpose and Your heart's desire
Is to build Your church, Your temple.
For this purpose You created man
As a vessel to contain You.
You were processed as the Spirit
Now You're working in our being.
To Your image You're conforming us.
Lord, Your work is glorious.

May this vision, Lord, re-center us,
Save us from our old self-centeredness.
Be our center and centrality,
And our inward harmony.
Give us sight to see Your purpose—
Build Yourself into our being!
Mind, emotion, will, Lord, we give to You—
All our heart Your home must be.

So grant me by the riches of Your glory to be strengthened
With power through Your Spirit into my inner man,
That You may make Your home in all of my heart through faith.
Lord, make Your home in all of my heart through faith!
