Father, I cry out for you

Father, how my heart cries out for you

How my flesh hates you Lord, my lifeline desires you

But, my sin wants to destroy you

Purify my heart, Lord

Destroy the doors of sin

Let only your love reign in my being

Let only your Words stay on my mind

Make your words a tablet upon which I read A path upon which I follow

Words upon which I meditate

Truths upon which I stand firm

Oh, Father, how I cherish your Words

They are sweet as honey to my soul

They nourish my heart

They humble by being

They bring wisdom to my thoughts

They calm my soul

They separate my flesh

From the sin that is near it

They cause me to relinquish control

They bring me freedom

They show me boundaries

So that I might not perish but live

Oh, Lord, how wonderful you are

How beautiful you are

Though I do not see you

I feel you in me

Though I do not hear you

You speak to me

I meditate on your words

They bring me sustenance

They bring me joy

They bring me peace

Make my days short

So that I can live with you sooner

Destroy my days

So that only you can live through me
