PURIFY MY IMAGINATION
With Your beauty O Lord
Nourish my mind with Your truth
That I may worship.
Quicken my conscience to Your holiness
In Your presence O Lord
Open my heart to Your love
that I may worship.
Sweet adoration, Sweet adoration
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord
Sweet adoration, Sweet adoration
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord our God
Take away the sting of bitterness
By Your mercy O Lord
Awaken my soul to Your grace
That I may worship.
How can I hold unforgiveness
Knowing you forgive me
I surrender my life, my all
That I may worship
Godfrey Birtill
