Lord, today, I open my being

Lord, today, I open my being And allow Your flame to search my inward parts; Burn away all the wicked way in my heart, Cleanse away, Lord, today, today.

If my Bridegroom further delays, Shall I passive be while waiting for too long? As I wait I’d be clothed with Thy garment, As a bride adorned for her Husband to be, to be.

Lord, it’s just a matter of time You would make us all perfected somehow. But I’d rather be judged and exposed now Than to wait for that coming day, Lest I miss Thy face Today, today, Lord, today.
