Divine Renascence
Lord, I need the quickening of my soul
…such is divine renascence
only made possible by Your compassion
for me to be alive with regeneration-touch
while trusting You for my iniquities’ pardon
toward freedom from sin-condemnation
assured with Your eternal security; grateful, now and forever.
Lord, ensure me Your revival* for my transformation
… of renascence sublime
so I can stay strong in Christ’s triumph
while yielded to Your purging
that sanctifies my walk along paths of righteousness
guarded from human nature’s vanity
upheld by Your omnipotence upon blessed servanthood.
Lord, listen to my plea for faith’s awakening
… spiritual renascence indeed
while I set my gaze for kingdom advancement
fire up my zest in sharing the Gospel
vanquish my lukewarm devotion
due to apathy and arrogance
imprison me to abide in Your perfect will.
Lord, keep on propelling my renewal pursuits
… renascence that’s heavenly
in bringing the lost to the Saviour -
the truth, life, and way
make me prayerful, humbly seeking Your face
teach me as I learn from discipleship endeavours
drive me from selfishness to stay in Your peace.
Lord, sustain always my restoration-joy
… for constant wondrous renascence
beyond the celestial against the ephemeral
through Your loving admonition, clearly instructive
that enables me to radiate virtuous light
while I persevere midst faithful stewardship
in exalting Your name from my worshipful heart.
*Isaiah 57:15 - For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
