May your will be done in me
Salvation comes in the secret place. The inward transformation of your presence in us Bringing life and hope to dormant hearts. Your purposes unfolding, Your Spirit stirring, renewing, Doing what seems to be impossible, in us, through us and for us.

So, would you speak and show us the way Give us ears to hear and courage to say, “I am your servant, may your word come to pass May your will be done in me.”
