Prayer For My Life
Put my life in Christ’s control
And follow the Lord is my goal.
Seek the lost heart to win
And save a soul from the grip of sin.
Teach others how to grow,
Inner joy for all to know.
Rich in service, never poor,
On wings of an eagle I will soar,
Expedient help to needy bring,
And cause the weary heart to sing.
Little joy in the relationship,
If in sin I often slip.
If lust growls, I’ll run fast,
The only way purity will last.
God’s word I’ll memorize,
The call of sin to despise.
Confess the smallest cancer of sin
So it won’t spread root within.
Although meek and seemingly mild,
At the sight of sin, I’ll get riled.
Stand for right and rebuke tell
To save a child from the fire of hell.
Let the Spirit train my mind,
That I may know of Him divine.
The truth always to discern
And false thinking cause concern.
Spiritual battles won’t bring fame,
But for Christ the victory I’ll claim.
Always to Him be all the glory,
As I valiantly tell the story.
My beaten armor won’t be bright,
But my sword will flame with power and might.
Although the battle will be long
In the end the victor’s song,
Empowered by God’s Spirit alone,
I’ll lay my crown before His throne.
On my knees I will pray
And seek the Lord every day.
Worship the Lord from the heart,
And from His law never depart.
My heart and lips will abound in praise,
For majestic mountains and rolling waves,
Giving thanks for His every grace,
For mighty deeds and the common place.
Oh Lord, I humbly make this prayer,
By your strength, I’ll make it there.
If I seek day by day
To be steadfast, never sway,
When this fleeting life is through,
All I’ve done will count for you.
Not just my prayer alone,
As I kneel before your throne,
But also the prayer of other men,
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
