More Today than Yesterday

Revelation 22:3-5

No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

Oh more today than yesterday Oh Lord help me embrace

The grace You give for faith to live and see Your smiling face.

For all I need I find in You who saved me from disgrace

That for Your glory I might live in this sin darkened place.

Oh by Your Mighty Spirit please descend upon my heart

And show to me the things of Christ You’ve chosen to impart

Within my soul that I might know and know more fully yet

The power that You placed in me, when You my soul beget.

As I have these tendencies to be dull and confused

I thank You that the preaching of the cross is what You use

To refresh my spirit and desire true holiness,

The fruit that shows the gift that’s given by Christ’s righteousness.

The light of knowledge of Your glory in the face of Christ

You’ve given that we might be lamps in this world’s darkened night

Until the day that all is day with no more temp’ral sun

And we then dwell within the veil of The Eternal One!
