Poem #13: Fill Us Lord

Fill Us, Lord

Fill us with Your spirit, Lord,
let Your living waters flow
into our heart, into our soul,
unearned salvation to bestow.

Fill us with Your presence, Lord,
inhabit all who hear the story
of our Living God, adorned
with crown of thorn and glory.

Fill us with Your worship, Lord,
with joyful praise in prayer and song,
our adoration now outpoured
to glorify You all life long.

Fill us with Your nurture, Lord,
sustenance for troubled souls,
trust and courage ever afford,
and blessed peace that ever flows.

Fill us with Your calling, Lord,
infect us with Your Holy ways,
that we may minister far more,
convicting others all our days.

Fill us with Your being, Lord,
ease our minds and troubled breast
with comfort from Your Holy Word
and grace to give us Heaven’s rest.
