A Prayer


Set a fire in me, Lord
one kindled by Your grace
burn away all flesh and sin
and draw me to Your face

Bring me near the cross, O Lord
to crucify my pride
that my boastful soul may see
it’s I who pierced His side

Guide me by Your Spirit, Lord
to make me like Your Son
that His name be glorified
and I with You be one




 Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
-Isaiah 53:4-5
