Deserving Father

Our Father, you deserve
at all times to be praised
by happy voices raising
to the heaven of heavens.

Be glorified, O Son,
who gives eternal life,
through all the world of man,
to every distant isle.

What Spirit now abides
in hearts that hear your Word,
transforming earthly souls,
preparing them for you!

Among your joyful people,
we serve and speak and sing,
en route to enter your gates,
with praises on our tongues.

Now Emptied

O Spirit of God, revive me — live in me —
From sin and guilt and passion set me free.

Messiah, Savior, Master, lead me forth —
May every day I understand your worth.

Creator, Father, Sovereign, come abide —
Fill with love this heart now emptied of pride.
