God the Almighty, Uncreated Life,
List to my cry as I lie in the dust,
Fathomless glory all about Thee is;
Life Giver, my Creator, know Thee I must.
2
Oh, by the Cross, the passion of Thy Christ,
Oh, by the death of my Lord crucified,
From pow’r of darkness translate me today
Into the kingdom of Thy light to abide.
3
Fill from the center with Thine utmost filling,
Fill to circumf’rence, fill right to the brim;
Blaze forth, the light, the glory of Thy being
About and ’round me to the uttermost rim.
4
Life Uncreated, Thou most holy God,
Life-giving Spirit, oh, create in me
Something that speaks of Thee and of Thy glory,
Something compelling that will draw to Thee.
5
Father, I thank Thee that my quest is ended.
I reign in life with Christ upon the throne
How satisfied to triumph now in Him,
The Cross the touchstone that makes me His own.

This is my prayer today:

"Life-giving Spirit, oh, create in me

Something that speaks of Thee and of Thy glory,

Something compelling that will draw to Thee."
