stir in me
mighty rushing waters
that from the depth of me
may rise
and out of my lips pour
rivers of life

---

i walk with You alone
my steps often unseen
by those who stand around me
i am FOR You alone

flattening myself
on the ground at Your feet
so as to cast no shadow
nor stand between anything
and Your radiant light

visible desiring to be invisible
that the invisible may be seen

You move in and through me
a vessel for Your glory
to present You
my Desire
to display You
my Worth
that You may be beheld

ALL for You
o Pearl of Greatest Price

---

oh You
of worth and adoration
let us adorn You with praise

---

set me ablaze
with Your fiery Spirit
consumed from the inside out
burn away what can be shaken
destroy what can be taken
till i stand in glorious array,
all ashes blown away,
for a headdress of beauty
and a garment of praise
Lord, set me ablaze

---

Love of all love
poured down from above
into the arms of a woman
and into the hearts of man

come and adore Him
kneel down before Him

behold His hands
not yet pierced through
behold His face
not yet shining its resurrected glory

Hope of all hope
Life and Light eternal
may i never cease to
offer You praise of all praise
