John 15:16 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.”
Fill me O Lord with your Spirit.
Lead me to the rock that's higher than I.
Bend me and remould me.
Till I be like thee.
Consider my ways, and have pity on me.
For I have sinned and gone astray.
Desiring to please myself and not you.
Seeking for glory where there is none.
Whom have I beside you?
Without you, there is no me.
Whatever I seek is embedded in you.
Your ways are perfect and just.
I thought I could do it my way.
I felt you were too slow.
So I decided to give it a try.
O what failure I encountered.
Indeed its not by power, or by might.
But by your Spirit O Lord.
Teach me to be patient and wait on you.
For your ways are not my ways, your thoughts not my thoughts.
