about

Here is a new melody and arrangement for a little known Charles Wesley hymn on personal holiness.

I also tagged a simple repetitive chorus at the end, bridging together both my Wesleyan and Charismatic convictions.

Chords available here: goo.gl/VUzEjJ

lyrics

I want a principle within of watchful, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin, a pain to feel it near.
I want the first approach to feel of pride or wrong desire,
To catch the wandering of my will, and quench the kindling fire.

From Thee that I no more may stray, no more Thy goodness grieve,
Grant me the filial awe, I pray, the tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make;
Awake my soul when sin is nigh, and keep it still awake.

Almighty God of truth and love, to me Thy power impart;
The mountain from my soul remove, the hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain my reawakened soul,
And drive me to that blood again, which makes the wounded whole.

More of you and less of us
More of you and less of us
More of you and less of us
Jesus
