Ponderings of an Elect Exile

This song has been stuck in my head ever since choir practice Wednesday. It's another Stuart Townend/Keith Getty song and as always, their words are so incredibly powerful, paired with really rich-sounding parts and accompaniment. (It doesn't hurt that they must really love altos!)

Speak, O Lord

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your Holy Word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak O, Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory.

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds.
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us;
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
that will echo down through eternity.
And by grace we'll stand on Your promises,
And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us.

Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory.
Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory.

Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory.

~Stuart Townend and Keith Getty

"Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us; truths unchanged from the dawn of time that will echo down through eternity." What an awesome prayer.
