Lord, this heart it continues to wander from thee
with no place to rest, no place to be free
for sin surrounds and burdens persist
and joy so fleeting, all gone like the mist
my mind is filled with wicked desires
my heart in anguish and tormented in fire
i am broken, i am broken
no words necessary, my actions have spoken
of the sinner that i am
and the hypocrisy at hand
my ways are not yours
and your ways not mine
my mind in madness and drunken on wine
the wine of carnality that rots me inside
the wine that deceived and forced me to die
now abandoned to wither on the side of this road
as the world crushes my last bit of hope
but still to you my God i cry out
save me, save me, my strength has run out
for i am drowning in the guilt of my sin
far from the place where i once had been
bearing the fruit of your Spirit within
wash me Lord and cleanse me of sin
for my heart has been found to be in want
but not of your ways but envy and jaunt
all of my works as filthiest of rags
my offering of praise just an empty bag
for everything i touch becomes defiled and rotten
and all too soon it's worth forgotten
and no one to blame but my own brazen heart
but Lord, i beg, don't make me depart
from thy presence Lord where joy and love abound
where at your feet my worth is truly found
for i am in anguish to be with you
and to do everything you want me to do
so come Lord Holy Spirit and abide in me
and cause me to live in your love so free
hide me away under your mighty wing
where i may bring love songs to my wonderul King
to the place where i am refined
and my love, my life, is truly defined
