584: I Am Praying, Blessed Saviour

Meter:   8.7.8.7. D. Trochiac
Book:   1987 Song Book
Chapter:   Means of Grace

1.
I am praying, blessed Saviour,
To be more and more like thee;
I am praying that thy Spirit
Like a dove may rest on me.

Chorus
Thou who knowest all my weakness,
Thou who knowest all my care,
While I plead each precious promise,
Hear, O hear, and answer prayer!

2.
I am praying to be humbled
By the power of grace divine;
To be clothed upon with meekness
And to have no will but thine.

3.
I am praying, blessed Saviour,
And my constant prayer shall be
For a perfect consecration
That shall make me more like thee.
