Restore Our Soul, Lord Jesus--Aug. 2, 2015

You have shown us great things, Lord Jesus,

and it may be we will see yet greater.

Why are we not dancing before

you, praising your name?

Restore our soul, Lord;

for your name's sake

lead us in right paths.

We do not live to ourselves,

and we shall not die to ourselves.

Whether we live or whether we die,

make us yours.
