From my weakness make me strong
In my strength humble me
Break down my kingdom
And may yours come
In me
Still my tongue
Till it drips of kindness
And tender be my ways
Soften my heart
Breath courage through
My gaping wounds
Wrap thy wisdom and grace
Round my heart
So set my eyes
On thy sweet sacrifice
Will my ways to
Sing thy praise
Humble me
And fill me
With strength
And love
To serve as thou
Hast from above
To set aside
My pride
And surrender
My spirit
Be filled
In thee
To deny all that
Which fleeting be
To taste that which
Satisfies
Open my heart
To a broken people
Love not of my own
Become me
My life no more
Save in thy keeping
Be my one and only
Thought pursuing
Live I to die
That others might live
To taste and see
That thou art good
Oh source of life
Be always near me
Thy will be mine
A grafted vine
Bear thy fruit
Upon this resurrected
Vine
The wine of thy
Eternal fount
Fill my veins
And nourish me
In the drought
And dark
Thy spark
A flame
To fire me
Unquenched consume
And conquer me
That all remain
Thy one and only
Wherefore this life
I fleeting find
Be thou alone
My every ambition
And so desire
That dares to dream
Dream on the theme
Of thy kingdom come
