Lord, Thou knowest all the hunger
|
|
| 1. | Lord, Thou knowest all the hunger |
| | Of the heart that seeks Thee now; |
| | How my soul hath long been craving |
| | What Thou only canst bestow. |
| | Seeking now, seeking now, |
| | Let Thy Spirit meet me now. |
| 2. | Failure in my walk and witness, |
| | Failure in my work I see; |
| | Fruitless toil, un-Christlike living, |
| | Calling forth no praise to Thee. |
| 3. | Now to Thee my soul confesses |
| | All its failure, all its sin; |
| | All the pride, the self-contentment, |
| | All the "secret faults" within. |
| 4. | Save me from myself, my Father, |
| | >From each subtle form of pride; |
| | Lead me now with Christ to Calvary, |
| | Show me I with Him have died. |
| 5. | No more let it be my working, |
| | Nor my wisdom, love, or power, |
| | But the life of Jesus only, |
| | Passing through me hour by hour. |
| 6. | Let the fulness of Thy Spirit |
| | Resting on Him cover me, |
| | That the witness borne to others. |
| | May bring glory, Lord, to Thee. |
| 7. | Father, in Thy Son's Name, pleading, |
| | I believe my prayer is heard; |
| | And I praise Thee for the answer, |
| | Resting simply on Thy word. |
| | Praising now, praising now, |
| | Thou hast answered, Lord, I know. |
