First let Him speak to thee, then speak to Him;
True prayer in thee the Lord initiates,
Thou but a channel art expressing Him.
Learn to deny thy thought and all thy will.
Learn to let God anoint thee with Himself
And thru thy prayer His purposes fulfill.
Silent to all thy wishes and thy plans,
Silent to all thy earthly cares and calls,
That God may work in thee all His demands.
Yield to the spirit all thy heart and mind;
Here let the spirit show what God reveals,
Thee its obedient servant thus to find.
Learn thus to let the Spirit pray thru thee;
All of thy being with the Spirit move,
Thy prayer will thus God’s own expression be.
Till in the spirit thou with God art one,
Till thru the spirit God possesses all
And thus transforms each part unto His Son.
Till God may freely, fully flow thru thee,
Till all thy words and actions hour by hour
Are the fulfillment of God’s will thru thee.
