Lyrics Lord, I am fondly, earnestly longing Into Thy holy likeness to grow; Thirsting for more and deeper communion Yearning Thy love more fully to know. Dead to the world would I be, O Father! Dead unto sin, alive unto Thee; Crucify all the earthly within me, Emptied of sin and self would I be. I would be Thine, and serve Thee forever, Filled with Thy Spirit, lost in Thy love; Come to my heart, Lord, come with anointing, Showers of grace send down from above. Chorus: Open the wells of grace and salvation, Pour the rich streams deep into my heart; Cleanse and refine my tho't and affection, Seal me and make me pure as Thou art.
