"My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour divine; Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away, O let me from this day Be wholly Thine. MH 268.1"
"The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
The EGW passage directly references the 'Lamb of Calvary,' which is a clear allusion to John 1:29's 'Lamb of God.' The phrase 'take all my guilt away' also echoes the concept of the Lamb taking away sin.
"Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin."
The EGW passage's plea to 'take all my guilt away' aligns thematically with Psalm 51:2's request to be washed and cleansed from iniquity and sin. Both express a desire for purification and forgiveness.
"May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. MH 268.2"
"That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;"
The EGW passage asks for strength to be imparted to a 'fainting heart,' which parallels Ephesians 3:16's prayer for being 'strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.' Both passages focus on receiving divine strength.
"Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;"
The EGW passage's request to have zeal inspired and love that is 'pure, warm, and changeless' aligns with Romans 12:11's call to be 'fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.' Both emphasize a passionate and dedicated devotion to God.
