O Jesus, ere we falter on our pilgrim walk
below,
Keep us ever mindful as Your saving grace
You bestow,
Since You came to call the fallen, the
downcast and the weak,
Your love will never grow weary, the wretched
ones to seek.
O give us hearing ears to hear and hearts
surrendered low,
That in our utter bondage, Your freeing word
we would know,
The word of power and of might that can all
strong chains break,
Command in us O Lord Thy will, e’en for
Thine own Name’s sake.
Make us to see as Thou dost see, not as we
choose to view
The paths that we have trodden, nor the
thoughts we hold as true,
Break down our sacred places, release us
from our thinking,
That Pentecostal hearing will give us new,
changed living.
Let not this day You’ve given us become
another page,
In the chants of our history, on each self-erected
stage,
Break down old and new barriers Lord,
confront us though we hide,
Take guilt and shame and ignorance, Lord
take our sinful pride.
We hear Your word, we want the life in You, that’s on offer,
For us You came, for us You died, for us You
did suffer,
O Jesus, Friend of sinners, the dirty and
the filthy,
Keep our eyes fixed upon You, for Lord we
are unworthy.
Unworthy to receive Your love, You love
without limit,
For on this day, You baptise us, with Your
Holy Spirit,
And so we come just as we are, take all,
take all we pray,
For You have given us Your all, baptising us
today.
Amen!
