Take

Take a sinner's love to bleach his stain.
Leave my tattered soul to fall still lower.
Crush my enemies but save their souls.
Say I'm great and wonderful no more.
 
Keep me lost to every clutching dream.
Send your fire to quench the flames.
Crush that pride which is scandal to You.
Take a millstone from this human heart.
