The Natural Man

I'm sorry Lord. I just can't get it right.
Forgive me- for my lack of sight.
If only I could be
all you see in me.
I fall short in keeping
promises you are seeking.
Though it seems I try,
yet in agony I cry.
I failed you again.

I need to put off the natural man,
to be found on your right hand.
Pure as a child;
meek and mild,
filled with love,
and return to you above.

In my carnal state is seems
I'm so far past feeling.
Lower than the earth's dust
sinks my soul 'cuz of lust.
And with tears of pain I plead-
O God have mercy!
Cleanse me through His sacrifice.
For I believe in Christ.

I need to put off the natural man,
to be found on your right hand.
Pure as a child;
meek and mild,
filled with love,
and return to you above.

...Put off the natural man.

A Singer's Prayer

So many questions that need answers,

but where to I begin?

My heart yearns for solace.

Yet I'm unsure how to ask you

for the gift I want most.

Lord, can you hear me?

I just want one thing.

Bless me dear Father,

I ask to sing.

Is this too much to ask?

Lord, is it possible? Tell me you'll make it work.

Will i make it if I try?

I long to touch the lives of others here

through the song I long to be mine.

Lord, can you hear me?

I just want one thing.

Bless me dear Father,

I ask to sing.

Lord, can you hear me?

I ask, to sing.
