A Plea for Holiness ~ Ruth Mast

Lord, may my life be pure and holy,
Free from all strife, humble and lowly;
A vessel that’s fit for the potter’s use,
May Thy will be done, not what I choose.

And as You perfect me, Lord I pray,
May I be willing each passing day;
To say ‘no’ to the flesh and selfish desires,
And hear You calling me ever higher.

Though the world loudly call,
And those around me may fall;
I’ll walk in your holy ways,
All for Your glory and praise.

Though friends turn against me,
May this ever be my plea;
Holier, higher, purer, I pray,
Lead me O God in Thy holy way.
