Lord take my selfishness from me
Cut it from me with one broad stroke
It wells in me with an ugly voice
I have tried to deny it, to push it away
I give it to you. I no longer want it.
I want to be known by you.
Of you.
For you.
Cut away the dead wood that hinders my growth
Take the feelings of importance from me.
I cannot serve you while I serve myself
Humble me Lord.
Make me an extension of you.
I am gifted, but only in you and for you
Let me create for your purpose,
Your song.
Give me the words and images that praise you
Lead to you.
Guide my fingers and my mind, block out all things not of you.
I cannot do this alone.
