Standing naked in my spirit,
I admit my need for You,
What was flames now more like embers,
Times with You have grown too few.
I remember burning brightly
Basking in Your love outpoured,
Living daily in Your presence,
Finding joy once more restored.
Those the days I felt Your wooing,
Cradled by a love so rare,
Those the days I found a shelter,
No more room for fear, despair.
Fan the flame, Lord, deep within me
For I long for Your embrace,
I confess worldly distractions,
Help me to my steps retrace.
In Your love I found such pleasure
And a peace beyond compare,
Fill anew, sweet Holy Spirit,
So o’erflowing, I can share.
Start with me, one little ember,
So a roaring flame ignites,
May a holy conflagration
Lift our nation to new heights.
“Disturb us, Lord, when
With the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.”
Sir Francis Drake (1540-1596)
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
