The Plea

Renew me Lord I've broke once more, Been overcome By things of this world. Remake my heart Mend all the shards, Remove the scars And make me whole. You are the balm to my insecurities, I'll bask in Your love And watch as my fears flee. For You are sovereign Over all, Your grace pours down And cleanses my soul. There is no other None can compare, With Your glory Or countenance. Clear my eyes Of any false distortions that claim who You're meant to be. Because I know there is so much more Than what I've heard or seen. Who You are Reveal yourself to me, I want You Not secondhand decrees I want You.

To fill me with Your essence A witness to Your name,

Letting go of things that bound me Everyday, let Heaven come.

And Your will as You desire Everyday, let it be done.
