Restless spirit, find thy niche


			Raise me to your purpose;
			Life in your life,
			Blood in your blood.

			Guide me in your perfect plan -
			Show me the way -
			Help me keep in step;
			I know that where you want me
			Is where I want to be -
			In your glory,
			In your service;
			Bowed,
			Not in fear,
			But in reverence and love -
			In respect of the beautiful mercy
			That perpetuates within you.

			I am restless to find my place -
			To get to where I can guide others to you 
			In a more Godly way -
			To get to the temple
			That is built upon your Love -
			Endurable,
			Perfect -
			Only flawed by my fleshful life;
			That is why I am not yet there -
			For if I were to receive now
			The abode would be sullied 
			By my struggling soul -
			Help me become all that I can be
			So that my residency
			Truly blesses the land that you are to give me.

			I pray you, Lord:
			Raise me to your purpose;
			Life in your life,
			Blood in your blood.
