Change Me, Lord
As I sit thinking on You, Lord
My hearts breaks
When I realize how many times
I fail You.
I call upon You when in need.
Crying out to You when hurt.
But when do I ever sing to You
Just because I love You?
How can such a selfish being
Be so loved by You?
I am ashamed of what I do
And of how I am.
I long to do what makes
You proud.
I want to be a child ... You
Can be proud of.
Instead I am nothing more
Than a selfish wretch.
Forgive me Lord!
Change me Lord! Change me!
