I’m quick to speak
And slow to listen
My heart is proud
With earthly wisdom
Search me and know me, Lord
See if there be
A wicked way in me
Cleanse me from all my guilt
Give me a willing
Spirit within me
I will not boast
But in Your mercy
What You began
You are completing
Jesus Christ in me
The only hope of glory
I’m not who I was before
You’re breathing life in me
With every breath I breathe
All I want to be is Yours
