Tears In My Eyes

Tears in my eyes
My heart bleeding cries
My head bowed for shame
Shall sin be my name?

This is not whom I long to be
I am not the girl of my dreams
Something lacks, to complete my 
being
Could it be the Christ?

But will he accept me?
For I have eaten the dung of sin
Howbeit that I shall be saved?

"Forgive me" that's my plea
"Encourage me" I pray to thee
Let me live thy soothing peace

Of all the things I'd love to be
Walking with you, is the treasure for 
me.
