The Object of My Affection
Change

Create in me a new place,
  a new way, a new fate.
Change in me my wicked heart,
  my wicked mind, my wicked tastes.

All that I believe, erase.
All that I hold dear, take away.
All that I enjoy, restrain.
All that I became, now slay.

God I pray to reconcile
  lost sinners to your name,
To bring glory to your throne,
  and justify your fame.

All that I fear, now ease.
All that I despise, tolerate.
All that I forsake, now accept.
All that I am not, create.

God I pray to renew
  my mind to your ways,
To change my hate to love,
  and seek your holy face.
