Purer In Heart

Tears came to my eyes as I sung this at worship on Sunday night.
What a prayer!

Purer in heart, O God,
Help me to be;
May I devote my life
Wholly to Thee;
Watch Thou my wayward feet,
Guide me with counsel sweet;
Purer in heart,
Help me to be.

Purer in heart, O God,
Help me to be;
Teach me to do Thy will
Most lovingly;
Be Thou my Friend and Guide,
Let me with Thee abide;
Purer in heart,
Help me to be.

Purer in heart, O God,
Help me to be;
That I Thy holy face
One day may see;
Keep me from secret sin,
Reign Thou my soul within;
Purer in heart,
Help me to be.

Thanks Mindy. We sing the song, say the words and hear them -- but when you simply read them it makes a world of difference. I love this song.
