"Show me myself, O Lord!". Alas, I did not dread Em A D D/F# G The hideous sight which now I shudder to behold C#m7 F#7 Bm7 ? Because I knew not self aright. And I was led in answer to my prayer As step by step to see my wretched heart laid bare Then I prayed "Stay, Lord, I cannot bear the sight!" E7 AM7 - A6 - AM7 - A6 And pityingly His hand was stayed, His hand was stayed. C - D/C - C - D/C GM7 - CM7 - Am7 - Bm7 Em9 x4 Now I pray -- I know the prayer is right -- "Show my Thyself, O Lord. Be to my soul the Bright And Morning Star to shine upon the grave of self And lead my heart from earth afar!" from earth afar. ---------------------------------------------------- Notes: *Lyrics by Helen McDowell from "The Continual Burnt Offering", H.
