Help me to walk in purity

Help me to turn from my ways,
my past, my present in the flesh,
Help me to walk in purity
as a temple of Your Spirit…
 
Help me, Lord, I pray,
clear the doubts in my spirit,
Show me who You have for me
so I may cleave to You intended…
 
Help me stand in righteousness,
to not turn to the right or left,
Help me to conform my steps,
that I would walk in faithfulness…

my past is my present

wanting to change
but remaining broken
remaining in the pit of my sin
not yet repentant, turning,
for my new life to begin…
 
too many questions unspoken,
too many things unknown
all bound together, intertwined,
my heart and my spirit,
wanting a place to call home…
