Genesis 12

 
 1 

O Lord, You've called to us, and Canaan we would win,

To be Your corporate man and dwell with You therein;

But how the darkness of this world does hold us in —

O Lord, appear to us, we pray.

 

O Lord, appear to us today;

We see this is the only way.

The idols to forsake

And Canaan land partake,

O Lord, appear to us today.

 
 2 

O God of glory, shine; draw and we'll follow You.

Our strength and motive be, it's nothing we could do.

Your light attracts us, Lord, 'til all else fades from view —

O Lord, do shine on us, we pray.

 

O Lord, do shine on us today;

Till all our background fades away,

Till You alone we see,

Shining so gloriously —

O Lord, do shine on us today.

 
 3 

In Your appearing, Lord, we have Your speaking clear;

Your word empowers us and drives away all fear.

So, Lord, keep calling us, Your voice we need to hear.

O Lord, do speak to us, we pray.

 

O Lord, do speak in us today;

You know the words You need to say.

To open all our heart,

Your very Self impart.

O Lord, do speak in us today.

 
 4 

O Lord, it's not of us, we've seen it's all of You;

You are the calling One, Originator too!

We can receive this call by our beholding You —

O God of glory, come, we pray.

 

O God of glory, come today;

We've seen this is the only way

To answer Your dear call

That You might be our all —

O God of glory, come today.
