Fill Me up Lord
by Barbara Philbrook

Fill me up Lord pour your Holy Spirit out on me,
let my every action be such that they bring glory to thee.

Send the Holy Spirit to live in me in such a way,
that others see you reflected in every thing I do or say.

Fill the deep crevices that are here within my heart,
just pour out your spirit I'm anxious for you to start.

I can not represent you in a way that brings you the Honor and Glory that you rate,
it is the spirit that you will send to me Lord for this I can hardly wait.

I know that you answer our prayers in your own perfect time and way,
forgive me for my impatience Lord as for the outpouring of the Spirit I pray.

I would like to make others aware of the Love that you so freely give,
that would bring me such happiness and make this life easier to live.

To know that I'm serving you while I am on this earth,
would make anything that I've lived through have some value and worth.

To know that I could share with others the marvel of your story,
to make them know of your love for them your Honor and your Glory.

This is how I wish to spend my time here on this earth,
I pray that this is an ambition that you feel has some worth.

The outpouring and the time of it is entirely up to you,
the amount and capacity will be whatever you want too.

But the appreciation is mine Lord and it is with my full heart that I offer my gratitude to you,
for whatever it is you decide you want me to do.

Thank You Father Son and Holy Spirit all three,
for whatever good work you have planned to do through me.
