Melodies of Love ‎#154

154. A Sincere Prayer

1 Holy and righteous Father, Jesus my Lord divine!
Thou art the mighty maker, Maker of souls like Thine;
unto Thee, Lord, I'm bowing, bowing in gratefulness,
For Thy great love and mercy, Love for a world like this.

Refrain:
Mould my heart in Thy love,
make me a blessing each hour and day, hold my hand;
Lead me and guide me along the way To the glory land.

2 Thou art the mighty giver, Giver of all that's good,
Giving Thyself for others, Shedding Thy precious blood;
Giving sweet rest and comfort, Unto the weary soul,
building a home in heaven, Pacing the streets with gold. [Refrain]

3 Write on my heart Thy gospel, Write on my tongue Thy word,
Stamp on my brow Thine image, Make me like Thee, dear lord;
Fill me with Love and mercy, Make me a light for Thee,
That I may have Thy blessings, Blessings so full and free. [Refrain]
