LyicsJesus, cast a look on me!
Give me true simplicity:
Make me poor, and keep me low,
Seeking only thee to know.
All that feeds my busy pride,
Cast it evermore aside;
Bid my will to thine submit;
Lay me humbly at thy feet.
Make me like a little child,
Simple, teachable, and mild;
Seeing only in thy light;
Walking only in thy might!
Leaning on thy loving breast,
Where a weary soul may rest;
Feeling well the peace of God
Flowing from thy precious blood!
