To be Your corporate man and dwell with You therein;
But how the darkness of this world does hold us in—
O Lord, appear to us, we pray.
We see this is the only way.
The idols to forsake
And Canaan land partake,
O Lord, appear to us today.
Our strength and motive be, it’s nothing we could do.
Your light attracts us, Lord, ’til all else fades from view—
O Lord, do shine on us, we pray.
Till all our background fades away,
Till You alone we see,
Shining so gloriously—
O Lord, do shine on us today.
Your word empowers us and drives away all fear.
So, Lord, keep calling us, Your voice we need to hear.
O Lord, do speak to us, we pray.
You know the words You need to say.
To open all our heart,
Your very Self impart.
O Lord, do speak in us today.
You are the calling One, Originator too!
We can receive this call by our beholding You—
O God of glory, come, we pray.
We’ve seen this is the only way
To answer Your dear call
That You might be our all—
O God of glory, come today.
