Release my spirit! This is what I need:
O may my spirit with the saints’ be knit;
No more in private ways Thyself to seek,
But freed from self and for Thy building fit.

No more in private ways Thyself to seek,
But freed from self and for Thy building fit.

Release my spirit! This is what I ask,
That self-confined or closed I may not be;
How deep within myself I long have been,
If Thou deliver not, I’ll ne’er be free.
That self-confined or closed I may not be;
How deep within myself I long have been,
If Thou deliver not, I’ll ne’er be free.

Release my spirit! ’Tis for this I pray,
That from myself I fully may come forth;
Thy Spirit then through me may freely flow,
And Thou Thy presence fully may show forth.
That from myself I fully may come forth;
Thy Spirit then through me may freely flow,
And Thou Thy presence fully may show forth.

Release my spirit! This is what I want,
That I from my seclusion may depart;
My private seeking poverty has brought,
Now save from self, Thy wealth to me impart.
That I from my seclusion may depart;
My private seeking poverty has brought,
Now save from self, Thy wealth to me impart.

Release my spirit! This is what I seek,
That prisoned in my self no more I’ll be;
By Satan’s cunning cheated nevermore,
But loosed from self to Thine infinity.
That prisoned in my self no more I’ll be;
By Satan’s cunning cheated nevermore,
But loosed from self to Thine infinity.

Release my spirit! ’Tis for this I yearn,
That self may bind my spirit nevermore;
With all the saints I’d mingle in Thy life,
And all Thou art enjoy forevermore.
That self may bind my spirit nevermore;
With all the saints I’d mingle in Thy life,
And all Thou art enjoy forevermore.

For Christ to have the freedom to build the church, He must be released from the prison of our soul.
What a prayer for the outer man to be broken that the inner man can live. Release my spirit! This is what I need, ask, pray, want, seek, yearn.
