So that You may grow in me, grow and grow continually.

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.

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.
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 Spirit's longing within our spirit, the Lord's prayer expressed through our prayers (James 5:17). O Lord, carry it out in us. Amen.
