PRAYER OF DEDICATION
Let me be as Abraham ... |
Obedient, trusting, and patient, and, most of all ... |
"Chosen" by You, my Lord. |
| Let me be as David ... |
'after ... Your own heart' |
writing words of You |
singing psalms with sweet music for You |
throwing myself constantly on Your mercy |
trusting Your grace and eternal love. |
| Let me be as Elijah ... |
let Your 'mantle' fall on me, |
lay Your hand on me I pray, |
touch me with that special anointing, |
without You ... I am nothing. |
| Let me be as Peter ... |
leaving his fishing nets behind, |
following in obedience, with childlike faith |
yielding his human nature to God's touch, |
repentant of his sin ... yet, courageous, |
lifting himself from the ashes of his denial |
to proclaim the truth of Christ ... his Redeemer, |
giving himself completely, |
forsaking his life, even to death. |
| Let me be as Paul ... |
chosen by special direction from God, |
filled with insight and divine anointing, |
teaching the hidden truths of God to man, |
endowed with power and logic ... |
truly dead to "Self" ... |
living with eternal precepts, |
guided by supernatural revelation, |
dying a victor in Christ! |
| All these men were obedient to Your divine calling. |
All failed at times, yet remained yielded to Your purpose. |
| This alone is my desire ... constantly channeling me. |
I desire no less
... I vow, to give ... no less. |
