Remove This
Search deep within me now O’Lord
remove any hostile thing
For it will only bring destruction
to the work You have planned for me
I fight each day with feelings
When I know I should turn them away
Animosity strikes when injustice is done
as one behaves in an untolerble degree
As I try to understand their course
I feel under my breath revenge
Friends tell me it’s not mine, but Yours
who will bring this to and end
So search me Lord and take away
these feeling of the flesh
I am but a weak and struggling soul
It is on Your strength I depend
Let love and forgiveness flow through my spirit
May my speech be the sweetness of You
Replace the resentment and weariness
Put a smile on my face to show Your hue
For many times You have done this very thing
not only for others, but me
I've done what now disturbs me so
By Your hand I can see it threw
