Excerpt7 - Lord, Emancipate

These doubts and fears for many years
Have fettered up my soul.
Oh, blessed Lord, emancipate,
Come now and take control!

I now aspire with strong desire
To be a channel clean.
Oh, blessed Lord, emancipate,
Reign where the "I" has been.

Oh, take me higher, endue with fire,
Thy glory dwell within!
Oh, blessed Lord, emancipate,
And keep me free from sin!

Now free from sin, endue within
Give Thy compassion -- tears;
Thou dost, my Lord, emancipate,
Restore my wasted years.

At any loss I choose Thy Cross,
Earth’s values I deplore.
Thy blood doth now emancipate;
Thy victory I adore!
