Love Through Me, Love of God

Love through me, Love of God;
There is no love in me.
O Fire of love, light Thou the love
That burns perpetually.

Flow through me, Peace of God;
Calm River, flow until
No wind can blow, no current stir
A ripple of self-will.

Shine through me, Joy of God;
Make me like Thy clear air
That Thou dost pour Thy colors through,
As though it were not there

O blessed Love of God,
That all may taste and see
How good Thou art, once more I pray:
Love through me—even me.

  1. Oh, this is marvelous. I heard it at a conference last week where the speaker was talking about being filled with the Spirit. I’d like to ask if I need permission to use it in the prayers for holiness in my new Pursuing Holiness Bible study at http://www.40daysofholiness.com.

    • I’m not sure whether permission would be needed. I believe the copyright to her writings is held by The Dohnavur Fellowship–http://dohnavurfellowship.org/. perhaps you could contact them and ask.

I love hearing from you. I've had to turn on comment moderation. Comments will appear here after I see and approve them.
