Praise to You

"Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform (will finish) it until the day of Jesus Christ."  Philippians 1:6

Praise to You Most Holy One
for You will finish all You have begun.
Praise to You who dwells beyond the skies;
Most Treasured One, please open my eyes.
Let me know You in all Your beauty.
Help me to see Your Spirit in me.
I hold so dear the lessons given in Your Book.
Let me find You as I pray, I search, I look.
God of infinite wonder and blessing to me;
test my heart, please look carefully
For any sin which would separate me from You.
Then do, O Great Refiner, what You must do.
Remove all I cling to selfishly;
Cleanse my heart, set my spirit free.
For You have promised, O Holy One
I am the work You have begun.
And when life's journey has come to an end,
while angels near, as You command them;
Let  all of heaven sing and testify
You have been the only vision before my eyes.
