Would You Restore

WOULD YOU RESTORE THE PLACE I HOLD FOR YOU,
Much lower loves have made themselves a home.
And now I’m left divided and confused,
And drink the cup of multiple pursuits.

Would You reveal the lesser gods I serve,
And cause my heart to worship You alone?
I’ve prayed too long for You to follow me,
So I will turn and let You take the lead.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
(Last chorus)
(On bended knee I’ll glorify Your name.)

Would You renew Your mercy over me?
For I have held my head in foolish pride.
I’ve raised my voice with questions and
demands,
While being held within the Answer’s hands.

Would You consume my sin with holy fire,
And purge my heart from every wicked way?
Then I will sing with purified desire;
On bended knee, I’ll glorify Your name.
