Forgive my rebellious heart, O Lord
For going against the grain
The joy of Your salvation be restored
And cleanse my guilty stains
For one night I compromised
And cast aside my faith
Forgive me for accepting the lies
Grant I ask, Your grace
I gained all of You; my world
But in the end, lost my soul
Instead of treasuring Your Word
I let in that which makes me unwhole
In the moment of pressing temptation
I accepted my Enemy's substitution
The truth of their hate and treason
I traded for them, against all reason
Your wife has become idolater
And sought the love of an adulterer
I let them carry me far from my lover's home
And now I am imprisoned and bear it alone
Father, Husband; God & Jesus Christ
Against all reason do I ask for Your life
Nothing within is deserving in me
I am bare without payment, for Your mercy
I dare not look up
For shame is my crown
Though I seek Your love
I cannot but look down
Please, if just a servant
And no longer Your Bride
I would be grateful
I would be satisfied
For I have lost my wedding garments
When I eloped long ago
And naked now I only wear
Sin's chains as these clothes
The twisted song that they sung
Appealed to my fire within
And now I am severely burned
By resounding my heart with sin
My heartstrings by my own hand
They have broken
And left a conquered
And enslaved opponent
O my God, against all reason
I ask You to heal, clothe, and cleanse
Forgive me of my unfaithfulness
And treason
Let Your Spirit dwell in me, again
And when sinners entice me
To partake of their lot and bed
May Your grace move me to cry out
Rather than hear and consent
May I understand
Who my true family is
And not seek for happiness
In the same place I lost it
Speechless I have become
While I await for You to assure
That You will grant redemption
Through Your love to make me pure
With shackled hands that restrain
And hold me down to my shame
I ask that You would break
And accept this heart to take
You have set on me
Your sign and seal
I believe; therefore
Will I be healed
Though there is nothing
Pleasing or beautiful in me
May You send Your love
Through Your faithful son
That in Your presence
Is fullness of joy
And at Your right hand
Are pleasures, forevermore
