"Renew a right spirit within me.... uphold me with Thy free Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto Thee" (Psalm 51:10-13). "Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations.... but tarry ye... until ye be endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:47-49).
Lord, grant us a spirit renewed with Your praise,
Upheld by Your Spirit to preach what is true,
For then shall we teach the transgressor Your ways,
And sinners shall then be converted to You.
Lord, You have commanded all men to repent,
And now for a season Your Spirit will strive.
Revive us again, so that we may be sent
With power to show them that You are alive.
Lord, we are Your servants in this present hour
Who look to Your Spirit for power to preach,
For then, and then only, shall we find the power
To bring Your conviction to those we would reach.
