If I Could Walk Right Out of You

I wouldn't miss you, I'd never think about you or wish you were apart of me. You held my hand since I was born, you've led me left and led me right and make me so miserable. If I could walk right out of you, I'd leave you far behind... You take all that I hold dear, you make me prideful and arrogant so that I think I know it all. The dearest earthly treasures seem fitful for my lust and for this; If I could walk right out of you, I'd leave you far behind... O' sinful life I'm done with you, disgusted I ever knew you and ashamed I called you friend. If I could walk right out of you, I'd leave you far behind... You used to have a hold on me, you made me do things I wouldn't do and things I would, I didn't. Though you call upon me still, I shall not go, for you cannot lead me too far from GOD and yet you try; If I could walk right out of you, I'd leave you far behind... Grace has made me whole, delivered me from self and sin and fills my every need and desire. patience He gives to me and willingness to be all He's deemed I'd ever be. I am His vessel of mercy and this I do know, If I could walk right out of you, I'd leave you far behind. O' sinful life I'm through with you, disgusted I ever knew you and ashamed I called you friend. One day, O Precious day, I'm gonna walk right out of you and leave you far behind.
