About Amy Carmichael

Amy Carmichael was raised in Ireland, but she spent most of her life in India serving the Lord. Her brown eyes that she prayed would be taken away proved of use to the Lord. She was never a mother by blood, but was “Amma” to many children that she rescued from temple prostitution. Amy spent the last twenty years of her life bedridden, and she used that time to pen many different books about her relationship with the Lord. Her ministry of the Dohnavur Fellowship, a home for rescued children, still exists today. Her story is beautifully portrayed in A Chance to Die by Elisabeth Elliot.

A Prayer

From prayer that asks that I may be
Sheltered from winds that beat on Thee,
From fearing when I should aspire,
From faltering when I should climb higher,
From silken self, O Captain, free
Thy soldier who would follow Thee

From subtle love of softening things,
From easy choices, weakenings,
Not thus are spirits fortified,
Not this way went the Crucified,
From all that dims Thy Calvary,
O Lamb of God, deliver me.

Give me the love that leads the way,
The faith that nothing can dismay,
The hope no disappointments tire,
The passion that will burn like fire,
Let me not sink to be a clod:
Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God.
