O Jesus, you said if a
grain of wheat
is to bear much fruit,
first it must
fall into the earth and must
die.
If I am to utter what is
precious
and not what is
worthless, dear Lord,
it will be because you
supply the words.
Transform the body of my
humiliation;
conform it to the body
of your glory,
that my soul may boast only
in you.

let the humble hear and be glad.

Jer. 15:19
Therefore, thus says the LORD:
If you turn back, I will take you back,
and you shall stand before me.
If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless,
you shall serve as my mouth.
If you turn back, I will take you back,
and you shall stand before me.
If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless,
you shall serve as my mouth.
It is they who will turn to you,
not you who will turn to them.
not you who will turn to them.
Phil. 3:21
[The Lord Jesus Christ] will transform the body of our
humiliation so that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power
that also enables him to make all things subject to himself.
John 12:24
"…Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls
into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it
bears much fruit. …" [Jesus to
