Crystal Lewis - Change My Heart lyrics

copyright Crystal Lewis 2000

oh God protect me from myself

my fearful, weary soul

it wants to hold on

when all i want is to let go

oh God protect me from myself

my hand and wandering heart

it speeds toward the wrong

when all i want to do is start

not to do that anymore

i don't want to do that anymore

change my heart oh God

from the sinful state it's in

to the state you want it in

i want to please you

change my heart oh God

how do i escape from sin

my old self loves to do it

what a terrible predicament

i find myself in

i find myself in sin

i want out of this sin i'm in

to please Him is to know Him

to know Him is to see

that obedience to law is not

what keeps us whole and free

is not a thing indeed

it is the body of a saviour,

Jesus Christ the king

I am realizing that the answer lies insight

if in fact I have accepted Jesus in my life

it all comes down, the choice is now

the issue of control

have I chosen God

or would I rather be the one

controlling the destiny of the mind...CHANGE!

do i do what i do or don't do what i want to do?

do i do what i do or don't do what i want to do?
