Arranged for The House United, a Christian variety show that airs through Comcast public access cable.

Take My Heart, O Father, Take It;
Make and keep it all Thine own;
Let Thy Spirit melt and break it
This proud heart of sin and stone.

Father, make me pure and lowly,
Fond of peace and far from strife;
Turning from the paths unholy
Of this vain and sinful life.

+Ever let Thy Grace surround me,
Strengthen me with pow'r divine,
Till Thy cords of love have bound me;
Make me to be wholly Thine.

May the blood of Jesus heal me,
And my sins be all forgiv'n;
Holy Spirit, take and seal me,
Guide me in the path to Heav'n.

From The Voice of Thanksgiving No. 3

That I may publish with the Voice of Thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works --
Psalm 26:7.
