Lord Turn Me

Lord, Turn my eyes from worthless things That which do not matter Like the dust blown on the breeze Or no rungs on a ladder That which gives the world pleasure Keep far from my heart Where you are is all that matters Bring me close to where you are Lord, Turn my heart from worthless things Let it beat in your pleasure May your love flow in and out of it Blessings beyond measure Let all that I've been given Be given back to you May my heart beat bold till days of old Always in time with your truth Lord, Turn my mind from worthless things Keeping me ever mindful of you In knowledge grow as your word is sown By your Spirit I'm renewed May I think about you often As I make it through my days Contemplating all you are Keeping me mindful of your ways Lord, I guess what I am asking Is for your Holy Spirit true In all I am and all I can May my all be filled with you
