VERSE 1:
May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
live in me from day to day,
by his love and pow'r controlling
all I do and say.
VERSE 2:
May the word of God dwell richly
in my heart from hour to hour,
so that all may see I triumph
only through his pow'r.
VERSE 3:
May the peace of God, my Father,
rule my life in everything,
that I may be calm to comfort
sick and sorrowing.
VERSE 4:
May the love of Jesus fill me
as the waters fill the sea.
Him exalting, self abasing:
this is victory.
VERSE 5:
May I run the race before me,
strong and brave to face the foe,
looking only unto Jesus
as I onward go.
May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
live in me from day to day,
by his love and pow'r controlling
all I do and say.
VERSE 2:
May the word of God dwell richly
in my heart from hour to hour,
so that all may see I triumph
only through his pow'r.
VERSE 3:
May the peace of God, my Father,
rule my life in everything,
that I may be calm to comfort
sick and sorrowing.
VERSE 4:
May the love of Jesus fill me
as the waters fill the sea.
Him exalting, self abasing:
this is victory.
VERSE 5:
May I run the race before me,
strong and brave to face the foe,
looking only unto Jesus
as I onward go.
