Draw Me, Lord, with the Bands of Your Love

NS867
1
Draw me, Lord, with the bands
Of Your love, with cords of man,
Going forth in my being entire;
I’d in harmony stand
With Your goal, for Your plan
Through Your word, joined to Your
  heart’s desire.
2
Make me one who would pray
Mingled with God as my faith,
Always praying and not losing heart;
I’d persistently pray,
And through prayer be saved each day,
Not in self but in God
  fully trusting.
3
Teach me, Lord, not to waste
But to number all my days,
Better one day with You than a thousand;
Keep me faithful, in grace
To express You all my days,
In all matters, for Your
  propagation.
4
If I struggle within,
You must never let me win.
Lord, defeat me, and conquer me wholly;
Not a half consecration,
But absolutely giv’n,
Lord, I’ll pay the full price
  for You solely.

"I drew them with cords of a man, / With bands of love; / And I was to them like those / Who lift off the yoke on their jaws; / And I gently caused them to eat." (Hosea 11:4)

Teach me, Lord, not to waste

But to number all my days,

Better one day with You than a thousand;

Keep me faithful, in grace

To express You all my days,

In all matters, for Your

propagation.

If I struggle within,

You must never let me win.

Lord, defeat me, and conquer me wholly;

Not a half consecration,

But absolutely giv’n,

Lord, I’ll pay the full price

for You solely

Absolutely for You, never let me win to do what I want.

If I struggle within,

You must never let me win.

Lord, defeat me, and conquer me wholly;

Not a half consecration,

But absolutely giv’n,

Lord, I’ll pay the full price

for You solely.

Lord Jesus, be the consecrating One in me, willing to pay the full price!
