Analysis of Strengthened Love Prayer
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I bow my knees to the Father,
Who of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Adopted us as a Brother,
That the Father had sacrificed.
The whole family in Heaven,
And on the earth has been named;
Of the adoption been given,
For as the Father has proclaimed.
For the riches of His glory,
Granting you a strengthened power;
Confessing that you are sorry,
For the guilt that makes you cower.
By His Spirit strengthen in might,
So that Christ can dwell in your heart;
Grounded in love that gives insight,
Rooted in faith not to depart.
May you have strength to comprehend,
With all the saints that will measure;
Never causing them to offend,
Remembering to give pleasure.
The love of Christ exceeds knowledge,
To fill with the fullness of God;
We affirm as we acknowledge,
By diving Him honor and laud.
Do far more than to ask or think,
Granting the power within us;
Steering clear of any strong drink,
And lustful desires as thus.
To Him be glory in the church,
And in Christ throughout the ages;
Forever with an endless search,
Avoiding all that enrages.
