All Good Gifts

Give me a heart full of healing

And a sould full of love

Give me a total devotion

To the throne of God above

Give me a holy humility

That drives me to my knees

Give me a servant heart

That my Master I may please.

Give me a mind pure and holy

Give me eyes that are bright

Give me a compelling countenance

That shines with delight

Give me a attitude of gratitude

That desires whatís right to do

Give me a life thatís devoted to You.

For all good gifts come down from the Throne of Grace

The things of earth grow strangely dim as they are replaced

With the deep desire of knowing One thing and One thing alone

To truly know the Father as we ourselves are known

To see Him as HeÝ is lifted high upon His throne.

Give me a discerningÝ spirit

Joy and peace in this place

An unbelievable boldness

That will shed abroad your Grace

Give me a selfless demeanor

A mouth that declares your praise

Set my eyes on my blessed hope

WithÝ an unflinching gaze.
