Lord take me

My humility

Let me not flee from Thee,

But let me hide myself in Thee.

Perfection, blest and steady

Like the beat of a single drum.

All the world keeps time by it

So slow it drones, so quick it hums-

By the steady beat of the perfect One,

I keep the time marked in my head.

Perfect in power, matchless in glory

I flounder, flawed, to the flawless head

That gives life to the dead.

I'd like to say I walked here,

To the chasm that echoes with grace

To the distant shore of eternity

I'd like to say it was my choice

to come this way...

But I know that you drew me,

With unfailing love to Your side.

I know with love you sustain me,

and make me part of the Bride.

I know my name is written in the Book,

Its broad, and deep besides,

But somewhere under B- For beloved,

I know my name resides.

 

But maybe the best part of this all is-

I'm a horrible, evil, wicked person,

I periodically make like Cain

And pull murder and lying on You,

But with outstretched arms you take my hands

Flood my heart with truth...

That yes I am nothing good,

And nothing good is in me.

But Christ died for my every sin,

And He died for me!

The Cross, the crux of history

To which all the nations lean

Look to the One who was lifted up,

To the one who takes your sins!

He is enough, and then,

He'll make you who you ought to be.

No longer I live,

But Christ in me.
