invade my #heart, my #soul

shake me, stir me,
crack me wide open;
create an opening, a path;
find a way into my spirit
pour me out, empty me.
 
pierce my shell
my reserve, my clay,
my desire for control;
may Your Love flood me,
may your Spirit invade my body;
oh Lord, fill my soul.
 
invade my heart, my soul,
my empty earthen vessel
like the flames on Pentecost;
find rest, an eternal home,
deep within me, oh loving God.
 
oh God, my Savior,
wash me clean, where I am broken,
restore me. make me whole;
drench my inner self
flood me, cleanse me;
oh Lord, fill my soul.
