Lord, let me be an open door
That You may enter others’ lives
Through me to come to spirits poor
Who need You for their living guide.
In providence You touched my life,
Gave faith for me to understand
The truth that pierces with Your light
Our darkness, covers all our land.
Lord, may I not distracted be
By clamor of this world’s demands;
May I hold fast to truth I see,
As You hold me in guiding hand.
May I point others to Your dawn,
Breaks at the point where You meet earth;
With heaven’s beams You bring Your song–
At last we find our longed-for birth.
You take us in the light that shines
From Bethlehem through Calvary’s hill
To empty tomb where You unbind
The death that all our graves had filled.
We taste Your truth in bread and wine
Transformed to give us You, His Son;
In Body, Blood for all earth’s time
We rise with You who vict’ry won.
