Prayer Points on Today’s Open Heaven 4 March 2019 – Jehovah-Jireh
What is in The Word that Endangers Dominion? By David Oyedepo
Topic: What is in The Word that Endangers Dominion?
Welcome to March! I believe that we all had specific encounters with God as individuals all through the month of February, 2019. I pray that everyone’s experience shall be a spiritual asset for life! This month, we shall examine our dominion rights in redemption. To start with, this week, we shall examine the topic: What is in the Word that Endangers Dominion?
We discover from Scriptures that the Bible is the most valuable volume of all times. For it is written: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made (John 1:1-3).It is the oldest, yet the most current book. It is also the most ancient, yet the bestseller of all times. It is the most widely quoted book and its principles still rule most of the civilised societies today. Its content touches all aspects of human existence, and that is what makes it the key to our unending turnarounds. The Bible is a living force and there is something unique about it. God’s Word is ever-reliable, ever-dependable, and eternally functional. His integrity backs His Word; therefore, we can count on Him.
However, what we do with the Word largely determines our destiny. That means, it is our value for the Word that defines what becomes of our lives. This is because the contents of the Bible are spiritual laws that confer us with dominion in our earthly walk. The light of God’s Word does not only enlighten; it also lightens us (John 1:1/4/9).The Word puts us in command of everything, because all things were created by the Word, and everything remains under the command of the Word forever (John1:3). Therefore, having potentials or skills is not a substitute for gaining command over our desired turnarounds. We must have the consciousness that the devil is not as powerful as we think he is; rather, it is our ignorance of the dominion we have over him, through the Word, that makes him torment us.
Too many people approach the Bible like a motivational or a religious text, where they draw religious principles. That makes them relegated day in, day out, because they don’t know what it carries. The Bible is the only “charm” that does not lose its potency. The application of God’s Word works any day and at anytime. Also, Jesus is the wisdom and the power of God, and He is the Word of God. Thus, God’s Word is also the wisdom of God; thus, when we eat the Word, which is the Knowledge of truth, there is bound to be a reward because our expectations shall not be cut off (Proverbs 24:13-14). We might not know the efficacy of the Word until we begin to put it to work in faith, delightedly, cheerfully, excitedly, lovingly, passionately, zealously and selflessly. This is because the Bible cannot be re-written. We either connect with what is written or we are disconnected from it.
What then, is in the Word that Endangers Dominion?
1. The Spirit Power of the Word: God’s Word is Spirit and life, and it is able to quicken. The Bible says: It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63). It can also invigorate everything that is dying. Thus, the Bible enables us to partake of that divine nature of God that gives us dominion over the things that corrupt the world.
2. Empowerment in the Word: God’s Word is self-anointed and it is divinely empowered (John 6:63). This can be understood particularly when we know that God is omnipotent, which means that He is All-powerful. For it is written: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). If the Word is God and God is Omnipotent, that means God’s Word is all-powerful. Therefore, every genuine encounter with the Word empowers people to do the impossible (Romans 1:16; John 1:12).
3. The Healing Power of the Word: God’s Word carries His nature, which is immune to sicknesses and diseases. The Centurion said to Jesus: …but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed (Matthew 8:8). Hence, when we receive and believe the Word, we buy into divine nature that establishes our dominion over every assault on our bodies. Every time God’s Word goes forth, God’s healing power goes forth. That is why we are told that Jesus, the living Word, went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil (Luke 5:17).
4. Deliverance in the Word: There is deliverance power in the Word and its light empowers us for dominion over the powers of darkness. As it is written: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). We must recognise that we are contending with invisible forces on a daily basis, but revelation of the Word is our guarantee for victory. Darkness is the highest realm that the enemy operates in to perform his wicked works. However, when we put on the armour of light, we disarm him as if nothing ever existed before. Thus, walking in the light of the Word empowers us to always triumph over darkness. When there is light in us, we cannot stumble because darkness flees at our instance and the entrance of God’s Word gives light (Psalm 119:130).
In conclusion, most times, what we hear is powerless until we believe it, and what we receive is helpless until we believe it. It is a combination of receiving and believing that empowers our full-scale manifestation. Thus, it is not enough to receive the Word; we must go a little further to believe the Word and then, we dominate our circumstances. However, you must be born again. Are you born again? If you are not, this is an opportunity to do so. Simply say the following prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me my sins. Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. Today, I accept You as my Lord and personal Saviour. Thank You Jesus for saving me! Now, I know I am born again!” For further reading, please get my books: Turnaround Power of the Word, The Force of Freedom, Walking in Dominion, Satan Get Lost, Born to Win and Fulfilling your Days.

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 4 March 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Obey God, Not Your Appetite
TOPIC: Obey God, Not Your Appetite (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 4 March 2019)
Bible In One Year: Numbers 29-31; Mark 9:1-29
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Judges 14:1-3, 7-10
MEMORY VERSE: “Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. –1 Samuel 15:22b
The MESSAGE:
Samson was born a Nazarite. A Nazarite is someone dedicated to God from his/her birth and no razor must touch his/her hair. When Samson grew up, he became a disobedient young man. He disobeyed God and his parents in the area of marriage. His strong will pushed him against the laws of God in marrying a strange woman. Not only this, Samson also broke his Nazarite vow by going near a dead body or carcass. Samson was a womaniser who enjoyed socialising with the Philistines. He made a feast, a kind of drinking party which was the custom of the day. All these actions pointed to Samson’s reckless lifestyles that led to his destruction later in life.
Disobedience is a killer. It can amputate lives and destroy destinies. Samson lived a compromised life and disobeyed God’s laws. He ignored the teachings he received from childhood. A dog that will be lost, people say, will not listen to the whistle of the hunter.
As a Christian, watch out for those who would entice you to go against what God’s word has told you to do or not to do. You must not enjoy socialising with sinners (2 Corinthians 6:17).
When you sin, no matter how grievous, repent and call upon God. He will always hear your cry of repentance and forgive you (Revelation 3:18-20).
Resolve to honour God in all areas of your life. No matter how huge God’s investment is upon your life, if you continuously grieve His Spirit, He will eventually abandon you. That was what happened to Samson. I pray that you will end well, in Jesus’ name.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART, IF YOU OPEN UNTO ME, I WILL COME IN AND SUP WITH YOU.
PROPHETIC WORD: Every pit or danger prepared for you by the enemy shall swallow the enemy.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
Help me O Lord, to give my totality to you, in the name of Jesus.

Rhapsody of Realities 4 March 2019 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome – A Gift For All
Topic: A Gift For All
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Eternal life is God’s gift to the world, not to Christians. You become a Christian only after you’ve received eternal life, which is the life and nature of God. What Jesus came to do, the salvation He brought, was for the whole world. So, in the mind of justice, the whole world has been saved, because Jesus paid the price for every man’s sin. This is legal salvation. Vital salvation is only received by personal faith in Jesus Christ.
Unless one acknowledges, and accepts His vicarious sacrifice, he won’t experience the vital reality of the finished works of salvation in his personal life. That’s where we come in; those of us who have become Christians have a responsibility to tell the world what Jesus did. Many don’t believe because they haven’t heard. Romans 10:14 sums it rightly: “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”
They’ve got to hear that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and that He’s made that life available to everyone. It’s a gift; therefore, they don’t have to work for it; all they need is to receive it. Romans 10:9-10 says, “…if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” That’s how simple it is to receive this glorious, wonderful gift of eternal life, and become an associate of the God-kind.
The human life is depraved, degenerate, and broken; but God has provided another life, the transcendent life, which He wants all men to have and live. It’s the life of absolute victory, glory, righteousness, and dominion in Christ; it makes you indestructible and supernatural, and it’s only available in Christ.
PRAYER I thank you, precious Father, for sending Jesus to die for me, making it possible for me to have eternal life. This life is working in every fibre of my being, repelling sickness, disease, infirmity, death, poverty, and everything that’s inconsistent with the provisions of the divine life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Mysterious Power of Light By Pastor D.K Olukoya
MOUNTAIN OF FIRE AND MIRACLES MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE 3RD MARCH 2019 TOPIC: THE MYSTERIOUS POWER OF LIGHT MINISTERING: DR D.K OLUKOYA (G.O)
Anchored Scriptures: Genesis 1:1
Message:
This morning message will start with all of us singing one of the most powerful hymn because that is what we are talking and praying about. The hymn is hymn 875 (MFM hymn book; Hymn 426 CAC hymn book). That is where the message of this morning will start with because it is very powerful.
In the original Hebrew, it was not written as let there be light. It was issued with a One of the greatest asset of life is light the sun light that you see is the basis of every light on earth because the process by which plant work which scientist call ‘photosynthesis’ is light. The green plant in turn gives oxygen to man.
The only solution to darkness comes from the word of God. Jesus came in as the light of the world and human history changed.
Light is understanding of a problem, understanding of a mystery. That is why someone will be called and say ‘Mr man, come and shed light on this issue’
It is enlightenment.
Light is spiritual illumination by divine truth. No wonder Jesus calls himself the light of the world.
Our world and our light unfortunately, they are going darker and darker. Greed, violence, dishonesty, pride, wastage of life, drug problems are becoming a common place now. A lot of young people are clouded and caged now. The solution can only be found in God through His word. God’s response to darkness was to turn on the light.
The functions of light:
Light discloses. It reveals object not seen in darkness. When light is not turned on, it immediately makes itself known. It reveals object that normally one will not see in darkness. The light will reveal what is in darkness. The light will reveal ourselves.
Light dispels.
Light divides. If you find yourself cohabiting with darkness, it means that you yourself; you are dark. If you see bad people are attracted to you all the time, it is because you yourself; you’re bad.
Light directs. If you get up in the middle of the night, you need light to direct you to where you’re going. When you have a light, it directs your path.
Light draws. Just like when you put on light, you find some insects attracted to it. When you lift up Jesus in your life everyday, you attract good things in your life.
Light dissolves.
Light uncovers darkness.
G.O narrates a real life incident:
Many years ago when I use to have time, a school was established in MFM called the ‘School of the Supernatural’.
When you’re coming for the program, you participate in the program by going on three day dry fast. One day, a sister joined the program and prayer session was going on. Something said she should look back; she saw a giant creature reaching to the sky. She closed her eyes and still saw the creature.
Many of us need our eyes to be opened.
She didn’t go home straight. She decided to visit her best friend. She got there and heard a loud music (song played: Jesus is there right now).
She found her friend and another guest eating rice and meat. Rice and meat was what she saw them eating but in the spirit realm what she saw was blood. They persuaded her to eat that that is the first time she refuse to eat.and they kept persuading her.
She left their midst, so sad that it took her so long she wasn’t ignorant of what she saw.
Now there is light, she now understood that certain things she ate could trouble her.
The prayer of ‘Let there be light’ is a giant prayer point. Another example is ‘Holy Ghost, overshadow my life’!
G.O narrates another real life incident.
There was a crusade somewhere, and a man of God gave a prophesy concerning a woman who has been looking for the fruit of the womb. He said he only has a message for her if she will ever conceive: she must sell all her big bags of jewelleries and sow the proceed of it to the poor or give it to God.
This woman was very angry and said within herself that someone has told her matter to that pastor. She got angry and made up her mind not to attend service there again. She went home and that night, she had a dream. A creature had a box in her hand and said ‘all you demons in this box, come out’!. To her full glare in that dream, she saw 18 carat gold rings turning into serpents and all other jewelleries in the box coming out as serpents in the dream. She packed all her box when she woke up and didn’t use them again. The following month, she got pregnant.
Light dissolves obscurity. Darkness buries human abilities, darkness buries human talents.
Light brings clarity. It brings understanding and that understanding is the food of faith.
Light brings direction Psalm 119:109.
Light brings acceleration. The difference in the speed of people is the light they have. Illumination determines acceleration. The reason some people’s joy is so sluggish is the absence of light. Association determines acceleration.
Light brings restoration.
Light brings distinction. It says arise and shine for thy light has come, Isaiah 60:1.
Do you want to exhibit light?
Live a life of righteousness. Always tell the truth. Don’t remain in the kindergarten school of faith.
You must live a life of prayer and fasting.
You must be a bible addict. Read your Bible regularly.
Live a focused life.
Live in the presence of God by praying more in the spirit. Run away from friends who draw you more and more to sin.
Prayer Rain: Prayers by Daddy D.K Olukoya:

Topic: Die-Less Passion for God [Seeds of Destiny 4 March 2019 Devotional]
Your passion for God determines your portion in God; your passion for God determines your portion with God.
SCRIPTURE: O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Psalm 63:1-2
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your passion for God determines your portion in God; your passion for God determines your portion with God.
Previously, we have established that one of the secrets of seeing greater glory of God in life is developing unconquerable passion for God. (Exodus 33:18; Psalm 63:1-2). Your passion for God determines your portion in God; your passion for God determines your portion with God.
One of the notable manifestations of deep passion for God is total dedication to God. A passionate Christian is totally dedicated to God. You cannot be passionate for God and not be dedicated to Him. A person who lacks passion for God has zero dedication for Him. So, dedication is a proof of passion for God; dogged dedication to God is a product of die-less passion for God.
Now, one of the most vital proofs of dedication to God is dedication to prayer and the Word of God. This means, one evidence of dedication in the life of a Christian is his disposition to prayer and the study of the Word of God. From our anchor Scripture, we understand that the apostles made up their minds to devote themselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word of God. This means, you cannot claim to be dedicated to God and be prayer-less or wordless. The buoyancy of your prayer life with the abundance of the Word in your spirit is proof of your dedication to God.
Beloved, my counsel is, make up your mind to deepen your passion for God by giving yourself to prayer and the study of the Word.
Remember this: Your passion for God determines your portion in God; your passion for God determines your portion with God.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Make up your mind to develop a deep passion for God.
Give yourself continually to prayer and the ministry of the Word.
PRAYER: O Lord, I ask for a die-less passion for You. Give me the grace to pray continually and study Your Word consistently, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: The Sign of IMMANUEL [DCLM Daily Manna 4 March 2019 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]
Text: ISAIAH 7:10-25 (KJV)
Key Verse: “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14).
MESSAGE:
Men commonly seek for signs to validate the truth concerning a matter. To acheive this, some resort to getting information from dubious sources and sometimes go as far as seeking help of prophets or fortune tellers to unlock the secrets of the unknown future.
From our text, God told Ahaz to ask for a sign, any sign. But the king was really not a friend of God; so he did not ask for a sign, hiding under a false sense of humility. God decided to give him a sign anyway. And the sign was going to be the birth of the child Immanuel through a virgin. This was a prophecy that would take more than five hundred years to be fulfilled, but God gave the sign to let the ungodly Ahaz know that He cares for His people. God called the child Immanuel because He had a plan for His own. Although Ahaz had abandoned the Lord, He will not abandon His people. He is a faithful God who, in the midst of calamities that would befall the land, would provide help and a way of escape for His own.
We have many people today who are seeking for favourable signs while ignoring obvious signs of the end of time. They want to see signs before they will believe the truth of the gospel while conveniently ignoring the signs in the living word of God.
God has given us Immanuel. There is no better alternative to the signs that He gave man. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. We should be careful not to behave like the Pharisees of old who were always looking for signs even when God speaks audibly that He is with us (EMMANUEL). The word of God is with us. The witness of the Holy Spirit is in our hearts. The signs are visible enough. Believe them and be blessed.
Thought For The Day: Many have sight but no vision.

Topic: Right There with Us [Our Daily Bread 4 March 2019 Devotional]
Bible in a Year: Numbers 31–33; Mark 9:1–29
“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. – Matthew 14:17
Today’s Scripture & Insight: Matthew 14:13-21
She was completely focused on the top shelf, where the glass jars of spaghetti sauce sat. I’d been standing beside her in the grocery aisle for a minute or two eyeing that same shelf, trying to decide. But she seemed oblivious to my presence, lost in her own predicament. Now I have no problem with top shelves because I’m a fairly tall man. She, on the other hand, was not tall, not at all. I spoke up and offered to help. Startled, she said, “Goodness, I didn’t even see you standing there. Yes, please help me.”
The disciples had quite the situation on their hands—hungry crowds, a remote place, and time slipping away—“It’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food” (Matthew 14:15). When challenged by Jesus to take care of the people themselves, they responded, “We have here only . . .” (v. 17). All they seemed to be aware of was their lack. Yet standing right beside them was Jesus, not just the multiplier of bread but the Bread of Life Himself.
We can get so wrapped up in our challenges and trying to figure them out for ourselves with our often-limited perspective that we miss the abiding presence of the risen Christ. From remote hillsides to grocery store aisles and everywhere else in between, He’s Immanuel—God right there with us, an ever-present help in trouble.
Today’s Reflection How can you increase your awareness of Jesus’s presence? Why is it vital for us to gain His perspective in what we’re facing?
Topic: Seasoned With Salt [Open Heavens for Teens 4 March 2019]
Memorise: “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” – Ephesians 4:29
Read: Colossians 4:6
6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Bible In One Year: Numbers 32-33, Mark 10-1-31
MESSAGE:
Your words define you, Jesus Christ said it is not what goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes out of him (Matthew 15:1-11). In other words, the words you speak is a pointer to the kind of heart you have. If you use abusive words, check your heart. If you are always talking about dirty things, check, fornication may have its hands around you. Don’t claim that you only say it but don’t do it. That is a lie of the devil to deceive you. He will first make a fellow comfortable around where it is being said, then the fellow will start saying it and because it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks, before long, the heart falls and then the body follows.
Your words must carry life in them and since John 14:6 says Jesus is the life, and John 1:1 says He is the Word of God, then you should know that you must always speak the Word of God. One way to know a good Christian is if you hear the word of God in their every conversation. If you study your Bible often, your words will carry the very life of Jesus; they will be seasoned with salt.
Reflection:
When people have discussions with you, do they hear the Word of God as you speak?
1.Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?
Chorus:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.
2.Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying
The Savior who does on the cross
3.Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of salvation?
To those who are dying in sin?
4.We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

Open Heaven 4 March 2019 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Jehovah-Jireh
Topic: Jehovah-Jireh (Open Heaven 4 March 2019)
Memorise: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”- Philippians 4:19
Read: Genesis 22:7-14 (KJV)
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
Bible in One Year: Acts 23-24, Isaiah 52:13-53:12
Open Heaven 4 March 2019 Monday MESSAGE:
It is amazing that in spite of the exuberant declaration of faith in today’s memory verse, some children of God still look up to financiers, godfather and other human providers to meet their needs. We must take note of what this verse says and learn an eternal truth from it. In it, the Holy Spirit lumped all our life requirements into singular form and simply called it “need”, because they are not a big deal for our God to handle. Failure to understand this truth can cause a child of God to fall for the devil’s trick of supposedly turning stone into bread. He tried to deceive Jesus with this tactic in the wilderness of temptation, but thank God he failed (Luke 4:3-4). What does it mean to turn stone into bread? It means obtaining satisfaction through satisfaction through illegitimate means or outside God’s plan of provision for you.
Today’s Bible reading narrates Father Abraham’s encounter with the Almighty Jehovah-Jireh on one of the mountains in the land of Moriah. Abraham had been instructed to go to the land of Moriah to sacrifice his only son of promise there. In the course of their journey, Isaac, already accustomed to the rites of sacrifice, noticed that something vital was missing. In Genesis 22:7c, he asked his father:
“Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
This serves as a great lesson to all parents. Do your children know what it takes to serve your God? What have taught them about Christian service in tithing and other areas of giving? What about the requirement of peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14)? In response to Isaac’s question, Abraham demonstrated his faith in God’s ability to meet his needs, saying in Genesis 22:8:
“…My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering:”
Beloved, it is time for you to re-examine your walk with God to see if you possess enough trust in the One who is able to meet all your needs without you compromising your faith. Do you need a job urgently? God knew this even before you were born. Do you need a promotion to take you over and above the tyrant boss who is hindering you from serving your God as expected? Jehovah-Jireh will do without you being a sycophant or sleeping around with the personnel manager. Are you in serious debt and your income is not able to pay it off? Trust in Jehovah-Jireh and don’t attempt to use His tithes to pay your debt. The one who paid your debt of sin is also able to pay your debt of money (Romans 8:32). I say to you in the words of Apostle Paul, “my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” do you believe this? Blessed are you if you do.

Open Heaven 4 March 2019 Monday Hymn 8: My Faith Looks Up To Thee
My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Savior, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
