Song #205

Lt. Colonel LaMarr gave a devotional on Wednesday and used this particular song from our Salvation Army song book. I was so blessed by the words. This is my prayer for today and everyday.

Blessed Lamb of Calvary,
Let thy Spirit fall on me:
Let the cleansing, healing flow
Wash and keep me white as snow,
That henceforth my life may be
Bright and beautiful for thee.

Burn out every selfish thought,
Let thy will in me be wrought,
Fan my love into a flame,
Send a pentecostal rain,
That henceforth my life may be
Spent in winning souls for thee.

Teach me how to fight and win
Perfect victory over sin;
Give me a compassion deep,
That will for lost sinners weep,
That henceforth my life may prove
That I serve thee out of love.

Barbara Stoddart (1865-1915) SASB

>I praise God that He is giving me a renewed desire to serve Him and those He loves. I pray that in coming days I walk in His strength and through His courage so that
"my life may prove that I serve HIM out of love."
