Renewing Worship #275, "Change My Heart O God"
Devotion
Change my heart, O God; make it ever true.
Change my heart, O God; may I be like you.
You are the potter; I am the clay.
Mold me and make me; this is what I pray.
“Beneath the Cross of Jesus” is sometimes given as the hymn for this day. In that hymn the singers begin by longing to stand under the cross as if they were in “the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land.” Standing in such a shadow provides a home in the wilderness, a rest on the way, respite from the noontide heat, and a place to lay burdens down. God in Christ who provides this shade changes hearts.
Prayer
Change our hearts, O God; make them new. Amen.
