You are our source
You are our reason for living
Only you know what each of us needs
Only you know our inmost being


Search us, O Lord
Delve deep inside each of us
Where there is pain Send comfort
Where there is sorrow Send joy
Where there is disease Send healing
Where there is dwindling faith Build up
Where there is fear Send boldness
Where there is loss of hope Send refreshing
For those deep in a valley Lift them up
For those who are unsure Erase all doubt


Come swiftly, my Lord
Come and work in each of us
Cleanse our hearts and minds
Use us to Your glory
Shine through us Your eternal light
Make us Your instrument
Bringing forth the promise of salvation
Open our mouths with song


Let us sing joyfully of Your love
Thank you, my Father
For holding us firmly in Your hand
Thank you for the sacrifice
Of Your precious Son
That we may be reborn And live eternally with You
Thank you for the many blessings
Both big and small That you send each day


And help us to remember
Where those blessings are from
We love you Lord
Our hearts yearn for You
Keep us close to Your side
Let us not stumble
And forgive us when we do


We praise Your holy name
We lift our hearts and minds
To You our source
And humbly offer ourselves
As servants for Your use
In Jesus' name, Amen
