I am so distant from You, Lord,
But solely You I look toward.
My soul calls out Your precious name
Because I’m broken, blind, and lame. John 5:3, 2 Cor. 4:8
And I know that I have been living
Recently without thanksgiving,
Just shuffling around my mind–
But Christ turned water into wine! John 2:9
So, God, I desperately pray
You’d change my heart in the same way, Psalm 51:10
That scales would fall out of my eyes, Acts 9:18
That even when the sun doth rise, Matthew 5:45
And even when the rainfall starts,
I would remember in my heart
That I have always been Your child, 1 John 3:1
That You prevail e’en in the wild, Isaiah 43:19
That now my life is sacrifice Romans 12:1
And I can’t live under a guise--
But bursting forth from fire and flame, Daniel 3: 26-27
Living each day to praise Your name.
So take me from my world within Romans 14:8
And give me strength to now begin
A life that holds the joy of You,
The love, peace, patience, kindness too. Galatians 5:22-23
For You have said, “Abide in Me; John 15:7
I am the Vine, you are the leaves.” John 15:4
