Oh God, my stains go deeper than the skin.
My sin and brokenness comes from within.
Oh God, I'm broken within my heart.
It's not something I know how to fix,
Been broken from the start.
I pretend that I can do something,
I act like I can change something,
Then I go off and blow out my wicks.
My candle goes dark,
My heart darkened by the shadow,
And in my heart it leaves it's mark.
A mark I can't remove,
I try and try but only prove,
That alone, the answer is no.
Alone my heart may beat,
But my heart beats for wrong.
My heart beats a deadly gong,
For ravishing lust fills my heart.
Wrong to my eyes a great treat,
For wrong it pounds my heart.
So God, strip my heart.
Strip my heart,
Strip it of all it's lecherous desire.
God, break me down on the ground.
Shatter me with the sound,
Of Your words, like fire.
Burn my heart.
Burn it.
Burn it to a stump.
Help me to restart.
With a heart re-lit,
Let my heart live and thump.
Live and thump for You,
Because I am nothing except under You.
I wish and need to humble myself.
Humble me,
Humble me to You.
God I need to know myself.
Reveal me,
Reveal me to me.
God I need to show myself.
Reveal me,
Reveal me to Your's.
I have tried to hide myself,
But I can't hide from You.
I have pretended to be,
Something worth me.
In pretending to be worthy,
My heart soars,
But it soars only to plummet.
For I plunge under at the summit.
Without You I am not worthy.
