The new covenant ministers

The new covenant ministers Are captives in a procession, Defeated and subdued by Christ For His victorious celebration.
Lord, make me Your captive. Never let me win. Defeat me all the time. Lord, make home in me.

The new covenant ministers Are incense-bearers of Christ Scattering His sweet fragrance In every place—bringing death and life.
Lord, have the liberty To fill me wholly. Dear Lord, fill me daily! Lord, make home in me.

The new covenant ministers Are Christ’s own living letters Inscribed with the Spirit of God, To express the rich Christ to others.
Lord, write Yourself in me. Inscribe in my heart That I may write on others. Lord, make home in me.

The new covenant ministers Are mirrors of the Christ of glory Beholding and reflecting Him So as to be transformed inwardly.
Lord, I turn my whole heart To focus on You. Shine in me, transform me. Lord, make home in me.

The new covenant ministers Are earthen vessels that are worthless Who live by the excellent p’wer Of Christ as the treasure—priceless.
Lord, You are so precious! I give You my whole being; Break me, renew me, Lord! Lord, make home in me.

Lord, grant me the experiences To produce such a ministry. Through revelation and sufferings, Lord, constitute Yourself in me.
By Your all-fitting life, Lord, I learn to live. By Your sufficient grace, Lord, make home in me.
