Purified Purpose


"Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servant" (Psalm 35:27).  "The integrity of the upright shall guide them... and he that winneth souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:3,30).  "Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself...  Now God had brought Daniel into favor" (Daniel 1:8 ,9).  "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations... whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world" (Matthew 28:19,20). 

Now let the Lord be magnified
As we display salvation's treasure
With every purpose purified
By doing all that gives Him pleasure.

Integrity shall be our guide
To purify our hearts from guile,
To purge us from the sin of pride,
And live to see our Savior's smile.

As Daniel purposed in his heart
To please the Lord instead of man,
May this commitment on our part
Fulfill the purpose of God's plan. 

Lord, let Your purpose be fulfilled
To purify us with Your Word
And to advance the Church You build
In every place Your truth is heard.
