Wretched Man

When I say "I love You Lord"
Conviction points within
A selfish, proud, ill-tempered man
I see so much my sin

I struggle just to look to You
The One I call my LORD
Hypocracy screams at me
It's You I have ignored

Yet in my heart I long to be
Close and free and one
As You have always and will be
Together with Your Son

My hope will always be in Him
The message I have heard
Is what you've started You will finish
It's written in Your Word

You have cleansed me from my sin
Unworthy soul am I
I've been washed, His precious blood
And so to You I cry

Remove my stubborn, stone-cold heart
Replace it with another
One that seeks not for its own
But seeks first for its Lover

I know You're not through with me
I know You have a plan
To change into the Son's image
This proud, ill-tempered man

So I put my hope in You
And trust as I know how
Looking forward to the cross
I take hold of the plow

And though I stumble and I fall
Sometimes the fool I've played
Your love and grace embraces me
And comforts me You've stayed

Times like this I always need
A place where I can rest
Safe, secure within Your arms
Like John upon Your breast

It's here I find the grace I need
And strength and mercy too!
To open up my heart and soul
And say, "LORD, I love You"
