• “Lord, may no gift of yours ever take Your place in my heart. Help me to hold them lightly in an open palm, that the supreme object of my desire may always be You and You alone. Purify my heart.” – Elisabeth Elliot

Dear Lord, I Praise Your Name by Xiao Min

(Canaan Hymn: No. 2,  P. 3;  CD II – 1;  K – 1; Original Xiao Min’s Hymn No. 5)

 

Dear Lord, I praise your name.

Because you have chosen me.

You have come from heaven to this sinful world and looking for me.

Dear Lord, I praise your name.

Because you have loved me.

Your great love fills entire universe even the whole wide world.

Your love has brought us salvation,

Show us how earnestly to follow God’s way.

Let all bow down to worship you.

Let all praise your name on high.

Great is God, our dear farther.

May all praise be to you.

You have lifted us from miry clay.

You have lifted us from dust.

Words cannot tell of all your Love; or praise all your righteousness.

Let us all praise God’s holy name with thanks-giving from our hearts.

  • “O beloved friends, there is a life on wings. I feel the streams of His life fill me and permeate my mortal frame from my head to my feet, until no words are adequate to describe it. I can only make a few bungling attempts to tell you what it is like and ask the Lord to reveal to you the rest. May He reveal to you your inheritance in Christ Jesus so that you will press on and get all that He has for you.” – Carrie Judd Montgomery
