My holy Lord, my Saviour, my King I have within me a sincere yearning To every day establish my residence In the power of Your presence I pray that You choose to bless me so A double portion of Your Spirit to bestow That everyday I may know You more Intimately than the day before I pray that each day may begin With an offering of praise and exaltation And that each evening I will give thanks For Your faithful providence Lord, make me Your instrument To bring comfort to those who lament To radiate love to those who hurt To extend Your kingdom on this earth I pray I will surrender everyday To You, and before Your feet lay Anything I think, say or do That keeps me from coming closer to You Every day this will be my prayer That through obedience, righteousness, faith and holy fear I will be kept under Your wonderful blessing And to your Spirit I will be listening To daily confess every offence I know I need Your assistance I pray that my sins I'll admit And due penitence I'll submit I ask You, Lord, to help me ever be Forgiving to anyone who has done wrong to me And at each evening, the setting of the sun To be a peace with everyone I pray for wisdom to steer clear of temptation That I may overcome it through strength and firm resolution For discernment to recognise evil when faced with it I pray, and for Your Spirit to defeat it Lord, install in me a hunger, a need For Your Word, living Word, to habitually read Upon it I shall meditate, every day, every night I will search deeper—it will be my light Most of all, I thank you that everyday Lord Jesus, because of Your sacrifice, I may Come to You, and pray And know there's no end to everyday
