LORD, GIVE ME LIGHT

If I have not forsaken all

In answer to Thy loving call;

If I've kept something back from Thee,

Lord, give me light, that I might see.


Chorus:

Lord, help me judge myself each day,

To walk this new and living way

I seek Thy grace with all my heart,

To be made pure, just as Thou art.


If anything upon this earth

Attracts me with its sense of worth;

If money has a hold on me,

Lord, give me light, that I might see.


If all my life revolves round me

And thoughts of my own family;

If I am living selfishly,

Lord, give me light, that I might see.


Is there some good I should have done?

Is there some soul I should have won?

Have I hurt someone thoughtlessly?

Lord, give me light, that I might see.


If someone's failure has not wrought

Concern and care within my heart;

If I've judged others inwardly,

Lord, give me light, that I might see.


If I have cared for men's applause

Or sought my own and shunned the cross;

If I have feared man's mockery,

Lord give me light, that I might see.


If I've not sought Thy pow'r in prayer

Because of earthly toils and care;

If I'm not longing after Thee,

Lord give me light, that I might see.


(Written in 1979)

(May be sung to the tune of: I'm pressing on the upward way)
