AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Frances R. Havergal

1   Thou art all my life, Lord,
      In me Thou dost live;
    With Thee all God’s fulness
      Thou to me dost give.
    By Thy holy nature
      I am sanctified,
    By Thy resurrection,
      Vict’ry is supplied.
2   Now Thy flowing life, Lord,
      Doth enlighten me,
    Bringing in the spirit
      Fellowship with Thee;
    All my need supplying,
      Making Thy demand,
    Leading me to cleansing
      And in Thee to stand.
3   Thy anointing Spirit
      Me shall permeate,
    All my soul and spirit
      Thou wouldst saturate;
    Every part transforming
      Till conformed to Thee,
    Till Thy life shall bring me
      To maturity.
4   Lord, Thy life abundant,
      Flowing, rich and free,
    Constantly refreshes
      And empowers me.
    Death by life is swallowed,
      Weakness is made strong,
    All my bonds are broken,
      Gloom is turned to song.
5   I would give myself, Lord,
      Fully unto Thee,
    That Thy heart’s desire
      Be fulfilled in me.
    I no more would struggle
      To myself reform,
    Thus in me to hinder
      What Thou wouldst perform.
6   I would cease completely
      From my efforts vain,
    Let Thy life transform me,
      Full release to gain;
    Build me up with others
      Till in us Thou see
    Thy complete expression
      Glorifying Thee.
