Soften my Heart

No Comments

Soften, Lord, my heart
Burn away my pride
Release me from my bondage
Set your fire inside

Fill me with great love
Sanctify me true
Relieve me from my sufferings
Make every thought of you

Release me from all judgment
Cover me in your grace
So I may cover another
And show them your perfect face

Touched by Your Hand

No Comments

Touched by Your hand
Bathed in your light
Filled in your presence
Alive in your love

God of all mercies
Hear your peoples’ prayers
All you have to give us
Release unto this day

As we lift our hearts to you
We shout your Son’s good name
Jesus, we adore you
Rise in us right now

Break Me

No Comments

Father God,

The words escape me
Lead me, guide me
Form the thoughts in my mind

In your perfect glory
All is healed and serene
Please, Lord, take me there

In your forever grace
Love is eternal and here
Hold me in your warm hands

Let me cry these final tears
Take from me the dark sorrows
Release from the snares that bind

Looking back for a moment
I remember your great miracles
Touch me yet again, dear Father

Drifting into the infinite waves of bliss
Your heart and mine are joined
In the rippling reflection of life’s stream

Take this child’s wounded soul
Hold this child’s weeping heart
Relieve me from the misery and loss

I thank you for the brokenness
As I pull you close to me
Amplify and strengthen my need

Let our wills be joined
Let me not need to know why
I surrender to your perfection

Take from me my will
I offer all I ever will be
In your heart’s peace, I am free

In you is all I desire
With you is where I remain
Break me, take me, hold me, heal me

Amen

Trumpets Sound – a prayer

No Comments

Father God,

Take me
I offer all that I am to you
Only in your will do I find peace
Show me your will this night

As darkness overtakes my heart
I pray for the light of your glory
In your Son I am made whole
Father, please, now flood my soul

Why do these feelings cause such pain?
Why does your hand seem so far from me?
Why does the enemy taunt me so?
Father, show me; help me to know

In the perfection of His prayer before he was bound
My brother told how all the lost could be found
In holiness, oneness, unity with Him
Lead me, dear Father, let angels’ trumpets sound

Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
Let me tonight rest in your grace
I love you

Amen

Set Me Free

No Comments
In grateful grace, I pray
Remove the old debris
On this very day
Please give this gift to me

Lead me to the way
Of a Savior, joyfully
Remove my final dismay
Answer now my plea

I hear the words you say
Show me; let me see
Shining distant ray
Take my misery

Lover, don’t delay
I offer you the key
Take the pain away
Come now; set me free
