Search Me, O God

Representative Text

1 Search me, O God, and know my heart today;
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from ev'ry sin and set me free.

2 I praise thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;
Fulfill thy Word, and make me pure within.
Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire to magnify thy name.

3 Lord, take my life and make it wholly thine;
Fill my poor heart with thy great love divine.
Take all my will, my passion, self, and pride;
I now surrender; Lord, in me abide.

---

1 Mi corazón, oh examinia hoy;
mis pensamientos prueba, oh Señor.
Ve si en mí perversidades hay;
por sendas rectas lléveme tu amor.

2 Dame, Señor, más de tu plenitud,
pues que tú eres fuente de salud.
Sobre la cruz, en medio del dolor,
brotar la hiciste por tu gran amor.

3 En tu redil por siempre estaré,
pues a tu lado, mal no temeré.
Guarda mi fe para poder vencer
hasta que al fin tu faz yo pueda ver.
