Tis In Me
Take my desires from me and replace them with thine own,
close my eyes that I may see, turn out the lights that are in me so You will shine.
Cut off the side roads so I will not turn away,
draw me nearer so I shall not neglect my first love.
Have I made void these important facts to only replace them with my own desires,
my own wants, my own intents and my own ideas?
Such thoughts of ignorance occupy the space within me,
in my heart that ought to belong to God.
Now I ask? When will I see only truth?
When will this matter?
Lord, take my life and let it be, a shining vessel for thee-
Take me heart, and let it be; always filled with Your love!
