I'm about me...but "I want" to be about you....it's not about what I want....Your Word is true.

I know that Your will is at work, all the time, for all time.
And yet my behavior changes, and my attitudes align
To how my mind accepts or rejects Your will divine,
Though I can't thwart Your purposes, I'm still asserting mine,
Help me fight back from this self-decline,
Help me unravel the noose of my selfish twine
That I've wrapped around Your Word, trying to make it my shrine
Where if my imagined world isn't preached, it's gotta be a crime.
Break me free from myself, but to Yourself, I climb
Though, if I had the right motives I'd simply fall in line.

I would say make me Yours, but You already did,
And so I'll pray help me not to fall in foolishness like I'm only a kid.
There's so much greater joy when Your glory stays put,
That's what I want to want, may You be understood.




You give what we want when we least expect,
When we're no longer sure if what we wanted is best,
To that I attest, and to Your feet confess,
Restore me to Yourself, mend this broken dress.
May You increase, and may I be less
Filled with myself, so Your filling is full,
That inside my heart abides the Holy Spirit, now I'm a restored soul.
