Oh, God help me to know
The riches of Your mercy -
Though I am poor and naked, blind -
In covering my shame;
Help me to see the great cost
When Christ gave His life for mine
May I be discomforted
With the depth of my sin
So I will mourn and wince
May I, in humility,
Accept the gift
Of Your inheritance
Then fill me with a hunger
And thirst for righteousness
That only You can satisfy;
So I show others mercy,
Purify my heart,
Chasten me to be refined
Help me see You, Father
And work for reconciliation
With Your other children
And when persecution comes
Remind me of my reward -
Joy and gladness in Your kingdom
