Till Their Mouths Drip With Truth
Oh, Father, it's the heart of a mother before You
bringing all my children in prayer.
For the task that I do of nurturing my children
is possible because You are there.
So, I bring them today Lord...one by one
asking for spiritual things from Your throne.
Because I pray they seek You & righteousness pursue
as I raise them for the years they are grown.
Father, give them a hunger that won't go away
because it's satisfied only one place,
So my children grow up with a gaze fixed like stone
looking upward to Your perfect face.
Give them a desire that burns like a fire
for Your precepts laid down in the Word.
So they'll know the truth of what's really right & wrong
instead of meaningless philosophy heard.
Give them a heart that longs to serve You
for the Kingdom...and what's yet to come.
May they see their lives as a living sacrifice
for the purpose and sake of Your Son.
Lord, give them a craving to eat from Your table
as the highest thing they'll ever do;
Till their mouths drip with truth, to leave a trail around them
leading others to what's righteous and true.
AMEN
