Praying God

Judy Bailey has provided another excellent contribution at 106 in AOV NG, “Praying God.”  She has recycled a couple of old hymns and come up with something special. Her songs in this collection are not the usual kind of material you find here and perhaps not being American or Australian helps her to stand out style wise.

Fill my life O Lord my God
In every part with praise
That my being may proclaim
All Your Being and Your waysPraying God be in my head, in my understanding Lord
Praying God be in my eyes, be in my looking Lord
Praying God be in my mouth, be in my speaking Lord
Praying God be in my heart, be in my thinking Lord
God be at my end, at my departing Lord
God be there, God be there
Be in my being LordNot for lips of praise alone
Nor a praising heart I ask
Rather for a life made up
Of You in every part

Fill each part of me with praise
And  may all my being speak
Of You  and Your love O Lord
Even though the flesh is weak

May no part of day or night
From sacredness be free
But my life in every step
Be in fellowship with Thee
