yearning thy love more fully to know.

pour the rich streams deep into my heart.
Cleanse and refine my thought and affection,

dead unto sin, alive unto thee.
Crucify all the earthly within me,
emptied of sin and self may I be. [Refrain]

showers of grace send down from above. [Refrain] Topics: Baptism; Confession of Sin; Grâce; Lent; Praying For Ourselves; Salvation Scripture: Psalm 51 Tune Title: OPEN THE WELLS
