Oh, sanctify us, Lord!


You therefore shall be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Mathew 5:48)

Be full of compassion, even as your Father also is full of compassion. (Luke 6:36)

...We know that if He is manifested, we will be like Him because we will see Him even as He is. (1 John 3:2)

Pray according to God's intention. (Don't pray according to your idea.) Pray so that God will make us the same as He is. Pray so that God will gain His many sons as God's glorious expression - the church.

1. Oh, sanctify us, Lord; now add Thyself to us,
In our experience, Thy Person spread in us,
That in reality the church be glorious,
O Lord, do add Thyself, we pray.
* Oh, sanctify us, Lord, today;
Lord Jesus, You're the only way.
We take Your Person, Lord;
Oh, spread Yourself abroad.
Oh, sanctify us, Lord, today.

3. O Lord, do nourish us; You are the food we need;
As we are eating You, we'll be transformed indeed;
We're fully satisfied as on Yourself we feed,
So nourish us, O Lord, we pray.
* O Lord, do nourish us today
As all our self You wash away.
Not only purify,
But fill and satisfy;
O Lord, do nourish us today.

5. Lord, make us glorious, by all Your inner work,
Not glory for ourselves, but glory for the church;
That You may have Your Bride, thus ending all Your search.
O Lord, do work on us, we pray.
* O Lord, do work on us today!
To form the church Your glorious way.
Oh, spread Yourself in us
Till we are glorious;
Oh, make us glorious, Lord, today.
