let us die...

[mattsharp]

Lord
it is Your forgiveness
and Your love
which saves me from myself
i often take my life into my hands
as it slips through like sand
and i am lost and confused
in the desert of wickedness
yet You lead me to water
Your love edifies
let me be like You
let me grow
i should not bear thy name
for Your name is too pure for my sake
but i give my life
over to You
do what You will
let me grow and glorify You
i abandon You
and i hide you away
but i can never hide from You
nor will You abandon me
i love You
it must be cheap love
because that’s all my petty heart can afford
i can't afford Your mercy or grace
it is a gift
that i can never repay
and thus i live my life for You
help me stay straight in Your path
and live for You
and live for You
