Brick By Brick
Relinquish me from lustful intent
Let me not survive on bread alone
Let my belief perpetually bloom
From the mustards seeds that I have sown
Lead me out of temptation
Tether me from the thorns of pleasure
As I lay my life for your kingdom
Humbling myself for your treasure
They may strip me of my worldly wealth
But my joy, they can never steal
They may flog this feeble flesh
But my wounds, you will forever heal
I step into your home
Whenever I am in need of grace
When my pillars of belief fall
Brick by brick, you rebuild my faith
