Analysis of Spiritual Insight Prayer
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Giving thanks I do not cease,
Remembering you in my prayer;
Hoping that your faith does increase,
Having compassion that you share.
That the Father of our Lord,
And the glory of Jesus Christ;
Gives wisdom not to be ignored,
With the knowledge that has enticed.
Enlighten the eyes of your heart,
That you may know what is the hope;
Having a faith not to depart,
Through the trials that you must cope.
Glorious wealth you inherit,
Immeasurable as a saint;
In everything that you merit,
Without having any complaint.
Because the exceeding greatness,
Of His power towards who believes;
Keeping on a path of straightness,
Determines to what one receives.
He wrought in Christ when He was raised,
From the dead seated on His right;
While all the faithful has praised,
And are remaining in the light.
Far above all with dominance,
In ruling with authority;
The Father gives Him prominence,
Having superiority.
He put all things under His feet,
Given as head over the church;
Upon the throne, He took a seat,
Unto Him, we must go to search.
Which is His body that will be,
The fullness of Him who fills all;
Upon His throne He does decree,
Responding to us when we call.
