Live Out Thy Life Within Me

 

"But if we really are living and walking in the Light, as He
 Himself is in the Light, we have true unbroken fellowship
 with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son,
cleanses us from all sin in all its forms and manifestations.
(1 John 1:7)

Live out Thy life within me,

O Jesus, King of kings!

Be Thou Thyself the answer

To all my questionings;

Live out Thy life within me,

In all things have Thy way!

I, the transparent medium,

Thy glory to display.

The temple has been yielded,

And purified of sin,

Let Thy Shekinah glory

Now shine forth from within,

And all the earth keep silence,

The body henceforth be

Thy silent, gentle servant

Moved only as by Thee.

Its members every moment

Held subject to Thy call,

Ready to have Thee use them,

Or not be used at all,

Held without restless longing,

Or strain, or stress, or fret,

Or chafing at Thy dealings,

Or thoughts of vain regret.

But restful, calm, and pliant,

From bend and bias free,

Awaiting Thy decision,

When Thou hast need of me.

Live out Thy life within me,

O Jesus, King of kings!

Be Thou the glorious answer

To all my questionings.
