I come to You, broken,
I am shattered, chaotic,
History, weeds to tame,
Shards buried in my ground...
 
Remove the roots,
The rocks I carry,
Sift my soil, clean,
Oh, make me ready...
 
Pull out the weeds
The lies of the Devil,
Clean me within
To be ready for love...
 
Open my heart
Help me to treasure
Each second with You
On this journey...
