Lord Build Me

Lord Build Me

Lord, as I walk in Your light build me within 

The unselfish sacrificial Heart of Abraham, 

Who gave all, all the time, and faithfully followed You. 

Make Your Light shine from within my heart. 

The courage of Isaac to obey, 

Who stood firm in You no matter the circumstance. 

Keep my feet on the path of righteousness, 

For You are the Way and the Light. 

The repentance of Jacob, 

The knees of prayer change the heart. 

My prayer, Daily change my heart, 

For I repent of all my sins known within, 

Build me in You from within to without. 

The love of Joseph, 

Who stayed the course of faith for You, 

And gave all no matter the circumstance or cost. 

Build me each day in You to bring Your Love to them the lost. 

The stewardship of Moses, leads to build in You. 

I stand daily before You, build and lead with Your purity of thoughts,

That the lost will see the reflection of the Cross. 

The faith of Caleb, who stayed the course with and for You,

I place all daily at the Cross to walk with You. 

The Leadership of the Prophets, 

As they believed and gave of themselves for You,

Guide my hands and build that path to walk. 

The humbleness of David, You Lead,

Guide my thoughts and actions and teach me. 

The Wisdom of Solomon, You control, 

Feed me the Bread of Life that builds within,

For You are the builder of Nations, 

And the protector and giver of all,

The stone of remembrance, 

The Rock of Ages,

The Salvation, the Way, and the Light. 

Lord, as I walk in Your light build me within.

Lord, keep my thoughts pure and within Your Light,
