HYMN
Kneel
ALL: Lord Jesus Christ, help me to spread Your fragrance
everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Your spirit and life.
Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that my life
may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in
me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your
presence and Your spirit. Let them look up and see only You.
Stay with me and I shall shine as You shine, so as to be a light
to others. Lord Jesus, let me praise You in the way You love
best: by radiating You to those around me. Let me preach the
Gospel with my whole life: the overflow of the love my heart
bears to You. Amen.

ever.
