Words: J. Edwin Orr Music: Maori folk melody Search Me O God [Verse 1] G D7 G Search me, O God, and know my heart today; C G D7 D Try me, O Saviour, Know my thoughts, I pray. G D7 G See if there be some wicked way in me; C G E A D7 G Cleanse me from every sin and set me free. [Verse 2] G D7 G I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin; C G D7 D Fulfill Thy Word, and make me pure within. G D7 G Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame; C G E A D7 G Grant my desire to magnify Thy Name. [Verse 3] G D7 G Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine; C G D7 D Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine. G D7 G Take all my will, my passion, self and pride; C G E A D7 G I now surrender, Lord In me abide. [Verse 4] G D7 G O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee; C G D7 D Send a revival, start the work in me. G D7 G Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need; C G E A D7 G For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.
