Father, Lift Our Eyes in Prayer
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ . . .
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge . . . (Ephesians 3:14-19)
1. Father, lift our eyes in prayer;
We Thy glory would behold!
We need light to see Thy hand,
As Thy perfect plan unfolds.
Clearly let us see Thee, Lord,
When we face dismay or loss.
In each trial let us see
Not our crisis, but Thy cross.2. Lord, forgive our selfish prayers;
We forget to Whom we pray,
And in folly bring advice,
Thinking we know best the way.
Help us Lord, to seek Thy will,
And contentment find in Thee.
Thou, O Lord, know best the way;
None, Lord, can Thy couns'lor be.3. Teach us, Lord, to know Thee well
That we might have well to say.
Lift our thoughts to meditate
On Thy glory as we pray.
Do not let our prayers arise
With eyes fixed on want and need;
Look beyond, above, and to
Him to Whom we come and plead.4. Lord, remove our thoughts from self;
Warm our words with words Thine own.
On the Scriptures, set our minds,
When in prayer we seek Thy throne.
That we all may comprehend
Width and length and depth and height!
Fully know the love of Christ!
On our prayers, Lord, shine Thy light.
