I Lift up Mine Hands to Thee Oh God

I lift up mine hands to Thee oh God of all hosts!
My thoughts Thou purify
Mine heart Thou practice.
Lift up Thy words and beckon my wit.
Endorse mine inheritance as dew.
Let Thy grace rain upon me Lord
As Thou dost to the redwoods
Set Thy glory upon mine house
Thou art my God!
Enable my senses to overflow.
Ordain my roof with Thy wisdom and mercy.
Thine insights, be my bread and oil
Carve my hands and sculpt my innermost being
Gently yet, without wounds or nails
Teach me Thy precepts
Harness Thy patience to my chair as a feather.
Mine heart with Thy breastplate
Mine eyes as the eagle
Supply me tools to labor in Thy field.
Set upon mine hand Thy slingshot
Prepare my tablets to scribe Thy awesome wonders
Ordain my name through all the earth!
Daily sustain me with psalms and verses.
For Thou art my God and King
The Lord mine heart yearns to serve
All my life- forever!
