Speak o Lord

Speak, o lord, as we come to you
To receive the food of your holy word
Take your truth, plant it deep in us
Shape and fashion us in your likeness
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith
Speak, o lord, and fulfil in us
All your purposes, for your glory

Teach us lord full obedience
Holy reverence, true humility
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of your purity
Cause our faith to rise
Cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority
Words of power that can never fail
Let their truth prevail over unbelief

Speak, o lord, and renew our minds
Help us grasp the heights of your plans for us
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity
And by grace we’ll stand on your promises
And by faith we’ll walk as you walk with us
Speak, o lord, till your church is built
And the earth is filled with your glory
