Mind Meditation

Tune: St Leonards

(\'May the mind of Christ my Saviour\')

*******

Help us, Lord, each thought bring captive

Unto you, our Lord and King

If they displeasing to you be

Show us, even me

 

Offering self to you daily

So too our minds transformed be

Where habitual patterns stuck we [pray]

Give strength, set us free

 

So to think, have mind renewed to

Ever think Christ-like anew

Meditating, contemplating

And of you we sing

 

Disturbed, distracted, or fretful

We turn to you, on you call

Daily studying the Scriptures

Show your ways to us

 

And in listening in prayer times

About matters of life\'s rhymes

And asking in prayer, so may we

Pray what your will be

 

Rest a while, think sometimes deeper

Commune with your Lord, and stir

Your best thoughts that by Him inspired

Have been holy fired

 

Going on each step, securely

Changed to Christ\'s image we be

His Spirit our thinking He guides

And in us resides
