Garment of Praise

Lord clothe me in a garment of praise,

In my inmost being, your name to raise.

Keep my lamp burning, shining like the sun,

My heart brimming over, til my race is run.

Make me a white shining, radiant bride,

Until the day, that I stand by His side.

And looking into the face, of Jesus all day,

The cares of the world, will just melt away.

Anoint me Father, with the oil of joy,

And every enemy chain destroy!

Make my shield of faith so strong, 

That every enemy dart goes wrong!

Mould me Father, for I am clay,

Guide me, so I don't go astray.

Until the day, the bridegroom is near,

And reaches to wipe, away every tear.

Father bathe me in love, each and every day,

My heart, in communion with you I pray.

Showing compassion to everyone I meet,

My mission to be, your hands and your feet.

Spirit of God, please show me thy ways,

Illuminate every word that God says!

In gentle whispers, as I read the word,

Speak to me, so God's true voice is heard!
