May the Mind of Christ, My Savior

May the mind of Christ, my Savior
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.

May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.

May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me,
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.

Thank you for posting that - I assume it's a song? As I prepare to begin my day with my 7 children ages 10 and under, I am strengthened knowing you are being faithful in the amazing place God has put you. To continue on day by day, seeking Him, with a thankful and happy heart as I have seen you have by reading your blog - on this journey temporarily without your helpmeet - it gives me renewed strength to go about my day: if you can do it, I most certainly can too. God bless you and give you grace on this day.

We committed this song to memory with our children early on- still one of our favorites! I am amazed at how many have never heard of it & many others like it!
Have you ever heard "I sing the mighty power of God"?
