This is as good as it gets if you ask me. I first heard this hymn about a year and a half ago and was instantly drawn to it. It's a great prayer and exhibits a desire for simple faith. Thought of it today for some reason, so this is what's on my mind. Words are by John Berridge.
Jesus Cast a Look on Me
Jesus cast a look on me
Give me sweet simplicity
Make me poor and keep me low
Seeking only thee to know
All that feeds my busy pride
Cast it evermore aside
Bid my will to thine submit
Lay me humbly at thy feet
Make me like a little child
Of my strength and wisdom spoiled
Seeing only in thy light
Walking only in thy might
Leaning on thy loving breast
Where a weary soul can rest
Feeling well the peace of God
Flowing from his precious blood
In this posture let me live
And hosannas daily give
In this temper let me die
And hosannas ever cry!
