Search me, O God, and know my heart today;
Try me, O Saviour, know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from ev'ry sin and set me free.
I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;
Fulfill Thy Word and make me pure within.
Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.
Lord, take my life and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine.
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord— in me abide.
O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival— start the work in me.
Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.
Be the first to react on this!
J. Edwin Orr (1912 - 1987)
Brother Orr shared in an experience of revival in his youth as he traveled by faith and saw many powerful workings of God. After years of seeing personal revival and experiences in his ministry he studied the theme of historical revival to equip and teach the Church.He published many books on the topic of subject of revival: "Can God?" "Full Surrender" and many others. He ministered cross-denoninationally in baptist, pentecostal, calvary chapel and in many other movements. He was also influential in the Campus Crusade for Christ organization.
Dr. James Edwin Orr was born in Belfast in 1912 and graduated to glory in 1987. Professor Orr was passionately committed to Jesus Christ and dedicated his life to understanding and furthering the work of God - especially in revival and spiritual awakening.
Dr. Orr has much to say to the Christian world today, because his message was a profoundly powerful, eloquent, and accurate explanation of what the Bible says about revival, awakening, and the deeper Christian life.
