Plea For Excellent Service
Lord, make me effectively excellent*
Let Your might in my life be truly prevalent
Conquer my flesh, arrogantly pestilent
Bestow me Your blessings, graciously opulent.
Humbled, I yield to You, prayerfully silent
With steadfast faith, I look to You, never ambivalent
Vanquish my slothfulness as I confess being indolent…
Now, I offer to You my servant heart, joyously redolent.
*Philippians 1:10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
