A Heart to Obey

Turn me around
away from the world
redeem me Lord
that I may live

Teach me your ways
guide me in my life
a heart to obey
to submit to your will

Leading me on
that I may give
the fruits of your gifts
poured out on me

To serve my neighbors
humbly in your name
to go where you lead me
each and every day
