Sanctified in Us
Our Father who is in heavenHallowed be your name, the name that is above all namesThe name that was made flesh and dwells among usThe name by which we and our house will be savedThe name that will dry all tears from our eyesLet us sanctify His name
Thy Kingdom come, His name enthroned in our lives,Taking the first place, the uppermost seat at our feastHaving pre-eminence in our lives, the chief place in our templeHis name the first thought in the midst of the noise and clamourOur last thought at the end of turmoil and strifeLet us sanctify His name.
Let us glorify that name, doing the will of Him on earth as it is in heavenThe name in whom we trust, on whom we willingly fallThe name that leads us in his paths of righteousnessThe name that guides us gently like a shepherdBeside the still waters and through the dark valleyLet us hallow that name
Let us declare his works among us, who gives us our daily breadThe name that provides all our trifling needsWho gives us all things for life and godlinessThe name that gives us the finest of the wheat and honey from the rockWho provides us manna in the lonely desert placeSanctifying His name in our lives
Let us show His name merciful by forgiving those who sin against usBeing an example of His faith and patience, giving no offence in any thingBeing reasonable where there is no reasonBeing merciful to those who are merciless and uncaringLetting them take our coat and our cloak without a murmurSanctifying His name to the people around
Let us lift up His name, who does not lead us into temptationBut who delivers us from the evil, the snare of the fowlerWho gives grace to bear the trial, putting his own shoulder beneath the loadThe name that provides the way of escape so we can bear itThat lifts our hearts in time of adversity and sorrowThat name that is above all others
To Him be the glory , His kingdom our heart,That those who see our good works may glorify HimOur works which sanctify Him, the purity of heart,Like a city on the hilltop, and the elevated candle brightly shiningHis is the power, our heart, our soul, our mind and strengthHe alone is worthy of all glory, The name that is above all names
