overcome

My ear hears wicked.
My tongue speaks lies.
My eyes see injustice.
But where do I draw the line?

I know of my sins
my struggles, my weakness.
They always shine before me.
They take center stage
Just to show me their ways
And slowly they destroy me.

From the beginning
It has been a cycle.
And now I want to break free.
To understand truth
To know joy and gladness
And break the chains that hold me.

Teach me Your ways
And guide me to truth.
Wash me as white as the snow.
I give You my heart
My broken bones to mend,
Only Your love I will show.

By Your grace
I am saved
cleansed, renewed.
I can't do it alone
I can't walk through the unknown
without being guided by You.
So please, don't turn away
From Your sheep gone astray
We just want to make amends.
We see what we've done,
And by faith in the Son
Find grace that has no end.
