I love You, Lord.
Let my heart burn for You, let my soul cling to You.
May I love You with all that I am, with nothing held back.
Let no logic, no argument, no worldly wisdom steal me away.
God, may I never be too smart for my own salvation,
never too wise to be blind,
never too proud to forget that without You, I am nothing.
Make me a man after Your own heart.
Let those who see me, see Christ.
Not for my glory, but that all might glorify You.
Tame my tongue, Lord.
Let no hatred spill from my lips, no judgment take root in my words.
Fill my mouth with love, that my speech may bless,
that my voice may heal and not wound.
Lord, don’t leave me.
Not till I look like You.
Not till I love like You.
Not till I walk like You.
Not till I breathe You in every moment.
Teach me to obey without resistance,
to follow without question,
to love You more than my own understanding.
Strip me of hypocrisy,
separate me from empty pursuits.
Let me not chase what fades,
let me not crave what rots.
Cut off every friendship that pulls me from You.
Tear me away from anything that leads me to ruin.
Make me stand firm, Lord.
Let me not be shaken.
Let me not be deceived.
Let me not fall.
Teach me to resist,
to war against temptation,
to fight for my soul.
Preserve me, O God, from the pit,
keep me from the path of the damned.
