I’m here to meet with You, Lord—

To read my Bible and pray.

Open my heart to receive

All that You want to say.

As I seek just now to focus

Upon each verse—each phrase,

Open my eyes to see clearly;

Reveal to me Your ways.

I need Your Holy Spirit

To guide me as I learn.

Open my mind to understand—

So Your Word I’ll rightly discern. 

As I take time to meditate

On truth You’d have me obey,

Open my ears to listen

As You remind me through the day.

And when we close our meeting, Lord,

May I keep this purpose in view:

To reflect more of Your love to others,

And to walk ever closer with You!
