Lord, please help my unbelief

Royston 1946 (Reading)



Please enlarge my spiritual horizon Lord
and give me the kind of faith that comes from Your Word,
opening my eyes wider so that I might see
more of the beautiful world surrounding me.

Unblock my ears to hear more of Your loving voice
raising my soul to heaven helping me rejoice,
filling my  heart with singing Your glory and praise
and lifting my head Your royal anthem to raise.

Fill my hands full so that they may be used to bless
other people with Your deeds of loving kindness.
Then strengthen my legs so that they may run the race
travelling on and on, empowered by Your grace.

Lead my feet into realms unchartered and unknown,
so that I may make your glorious gospel known.
Then, dear Lord, fill my whole body, soul, mind and heart
full of Your Holy Spirit in every part.
