Quell

"*As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." - Psalm 42:1 (The Holy Bible) Lord, quell the desires of my heart, Lead me daily in Thy ways true, I'm at Thy feet, teachings impart, Help me Thy Scriptures to construe! I pray to Thee for grace divine, Lord, quell the desires of my heart, Setting aside flesh, thoughts align, From chains of sin, let me depart! In Thee, let me have a new start, Take my pen and let Thy words flow, Lord, quell the desires of my heart, Bathe me in Thy forgiveness glow! Cleanse all evil from my thinking, Let me pant for Thee, like the hart*, Set me on the Rock, I'm sinking, Lord, quell the desires of my heart.
