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
