Search Me, O God

Music by Maori folk melody, words by James E. Orr


Search me, O God, and know my heart today;
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts I pray:
See if there be some wicked way in me,
Cleanse me from every sin and set me free.

I praise You, Lord, for cleansing me from sin:
Fulfill Your Word, and make me pure within;
Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire to magnify Your name.

Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Yours:
Fill my poor heart with love that overflows;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.

O Holy God, revival comes from You.
Fill with Your Spirit, light my heart anew.
Your Word declares, You will supply my need;
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.
