Lord, I want to live so close to Thee
That I'll know Your will and plan for me,
Just to have Your blessing
On the things I do and Your strength in
Each trial to stay true.

Refrain
Fresh anointing, a fresh anointing,
Holy Spirit, breathe on me,
For I need a new empowering
In my life to be used more for Thee.

Lead me, Lord, to those who need Your love
And protect me by Your precious blood;
In the darkest hour, my Jesus, send Your light,
For Thy Word in its power
Can pierce the night.

Fresh anointing, a fresh anointing,
Holy Spirit, breathe on me,
For I need a new empow'ring
In my life to be used more for Thee.
