My Master
I know that
I’m loved by a good God.
How many
little ways He shows it!
He
strengthens my heart and gives me faith
And
constantly lovingly grows it.
He taps at
my heart when I wander
And seeks
to regain my full face.
He
patiently, mercif’lly keeps me,
And when I
come back, I meet grace.
He blesses
my heart with such good things
And answers
my prayers in such ways
That all I
can do is just marvel!
And lift up
my imperfect praise.
He says,
“Deny self” and I fail Him.
He says,
“Take your cross” and I quake.
He says,
“Follow Me and I’ll give you
A life that
you won’t have to fake.”
He knows me
so well! How I see it!
How patient
He’s been all these years!
He’s drawn
me so long and so surely,
(‘Though oft’
my heart’s fight has brought tears).
Oh Lord,
bring me back, draw me closer!
My Master
You are, I’m Your slave.
I want to
break out into fullness
And
fruitfulness wave upon wave.
