 My Heart's Desire

"Cleanse my heart and fill me with Thy Spirit,
Satisfy the longings of my soul,
I crown Thee king and bid Thee hold the Sceptre
Yielding all, I’m now ‘neath Thy control.

Have Thy way, for Thee alone I’ll follow;
Too long I’ve followed self, rejecting Thee;
Now I lay my ALL upon the altar,
Sanctify the gift and dwell with me.

All my plans and all of my ambitions
All my dreams and all my earthly store,
Friends with all their ties that closely bind me
I ask Thee Lord to hold forever more.

Crucify the self that ruled within me.
I’ll take the cross and gladly follow Thee,
Stamp Thy likeness on my heart forever
Until Thy blessed image all shall see.

Stir my heart with love’s intensest ardor,
Teach me how to give, to serve, to pray,
Make my heart and life an unchoked channel
Of blessing to my fellow men each day.

Keep me humble, lowly, and submissive,
Sweet in spirit, kind in thought and deed,
Until all who look see Jesus only
And precious souls to Thee, I then may lead!"

- Helen G. Riggs
