Circumcise My Heart
You know me.. You know it doesn't take too long before i am running my own way again.. You know it doesn't take me long before my ungrateful heart forgets the many things You have brought me through, and that just this morning- You kissed me awake and met me with Your new mercies.. Mercies- fresh and sweet, untouched with no blemish or flaws..
You know me.. You know like Israel's sons i am in desperate need of a new heart- in need of a true relationship with You..
So will You look upon my needy heart and have mercy again.. Will You look and see it's desperate need for Your mercy again?
Will You look at my prideful soul and show it the way it needs to go- Your way! Will You search the contents of this soul, know what is within, replace it with truth and not cast it away from Your presence Oh Lord, will You?
Will You transplant within me a heart that chooses to seek peace, to seek joy, righteousness, a heart that seeks fulfillment only in You Oh Lord.. Will You remind me how You sought me and found me and loved me like no other?
Will You remind me You are the one who still loves me in the dead of night when a friend i can not find.. Will You remind me You are a friend that stay nigh- one who answers when i call for comfort and company.. It is You Oh Lord.
Oh will You remind my soul of how precious, how pure, how innocent and holy the blood shade for my salvation was.. Remind me Oh Lord that i have been changed in You.. Remind me that my heart needs to be right before You if truly, i have chosen You to be my God and Lord..
Remember Oh Lord that i am made from dust and without You, i am nothing.. Remember my sin is ever before me.. Remember my desperate need for You.. Remember my own righteousness is but filthy rugs before You.. Remember that Christ is my righteousness! that i am lost without You.. REMEMBER! and for Your names sake ave mercy on me again..
So circumcise my stubborn heart that i may know You! that i may behold You and stay amazed at how wonderful You are Oh Lord my GOD.
