1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
save from wrath and make me pure.
2. Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law's commands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.
4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.

Rock of Ages

Work and Prayer
As I begin yet another new role / training program at work, I am feeling mostly without direction and vision. There are many loose ends to be tied and a map yet to be given. This is forcing me to trust and wait. And have patience. Fun stuff.
As I wait, this is a prayer I am and will continue praying through 2013:
1) that I would bring His light into the marketplace, directly or discretely
2) that He would teach me new skills that have eternal significance
3) that He would expand my current horizons and give me wisdom to see them
All of the above directly applies to where I'm currently waiting in regards to my work. How does this apply to your work? How would you change this prayer for your specific role?
