Remove my covering, Lord,
That I may see Thy light,
And be deceived no more,
But all things see aright.
That I may see Thy light,
And be deceived no more,
But all things see aright.
Oh, may Thy living light, Lord,
Scatter all my night, Lord,
And everything make bright, Lord,
For this I pray to Thee.
Scatter all my night, Lord,
And everything make bright, Lord,
For this I pray to Thee.

I hardly know myself;
Deceived so much by pride,
I often think I’m right
And am self-satisfied.
Deceived so much by pride,
I often think I’m right
And am self-satisfied.
3
I know Thee even less;
In doctrine, shallowly;
True revelation lack
Of Thy reality.
In doctrine, shallowly;
True revelation lack
Of Thy reality.

As for Thy life within,
In darkness I mistake—
If spirit or the flesh,
One for the other take.
In darkness I mistake—
If spirit or the flesh,
One for the other take.
5
As for Thy way, O Lord,
I often am not clear;
I toward seclusion tend
And from the pathway veer.
I often am not clear;
I toward seclusion tend
And from the pathway veer.
6
As for Thy will for me,
I do not know it well;
I substitute my own
And often would rebel.
I do not know it well;
I substitute my own
And often would rebel.
7
As for the church, I need
Thy revelation more,
The Body-life to know,
Thy wisdom to explore.
Thy revelation more,
The Body-life to know,
Thy wisdom to explore.

I long to be unveiled,
In everything made clear,
No more to be deceived
Or to my pride adhere.
In everything made clear,
No more to be deceived
Or to my pride adhere.

I like this song because: First of all I hardly know my self, and often think I'm right. But hallelujah that our dear LORD is the LIVING LIGHT!! Oh, I tell you when I turn my heart to the lord the veil is removed right away I see thy light. Dear brothers and sisters the Lord is so precious.

I just like this song simply because a lot of things in my life that I want to pursue. My environment agreed with it but the Lord Jesus Himself does not want it for me. He has an sovereign arrangement to change this environment which I would like to possess. He removes all the things just to see His light esp. the needs for His building...Saints your burden must be the burden of our Lord Jesus...Remove all the things that are not for His buildung...Pursue things that satisfy His Heart...Amen.
