Make me a captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free; force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand; imprison me within thine arms, and strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor until it master find; it has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind. It cannot freely move till thou hast wrought its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3 My power is faint and low till I have learned to serve; it lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve; it cannot drive the world, until itself be driven; its flag can only be unfurled when thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4 My will is not my own till thou hast made it thine; if it would reach a monarch's throne it must its crown resign; it only stands unbent, amid the clashing strife, when on thy bosom it has leant and found in thee its life. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:14 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

Author: Henry Montague Butler (1833-1918) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Our Response to Christ In Discipleship Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee; here at thy feet none other may we see: 'Lift up your hearts!' Even so, with one accord, we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord. 2 Above the level of the former years, the mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears, the mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay, O Lord of light, lift all our hearts to-day. 3 Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given: low lies the best till lifted up to heaven; low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain, till, sent from God, they mount to God again. 4 Then, as the trumpet-call in after years, 'Lift up your hearts!' rings pealing in our ears, still shall those hearts respond with full accord, 'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord.' Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:52 Used With Tune: WOODLANDS
