O Lord, Renew Me!

by Ralph I. Tilley 

My eyes are dry
My heart is numb
The world is lost
My voice is mum—
O Lord, renew me!

Temptation's near
Heaven is dim
The fire burns low
My love is slim—
O Lord, renew me! 

My prayers are weak
Faith is feeble
My strength is gone
The will's in trouble—
O Lord, renew me!

The world's around
The flesh is close
My heart is cold
The gold turned dross—
O Lord, renew me! 

I bow down low
I look up high
Confess my need
Begin to sigh—
O Lord, renew me! 

I feel His Wind
I set my sails
The will's made strong
His love prevails—
O Lord, You've renewed me!
