Purify me within

That the song from my heart

Would be pleasing to you

That the soiled flesh

Would be as ashes before you

Burned by your purifying fire

It’s not been easy

To let things go

In my won strength

I know

Weakness, frailty, failure

Disappointment that overwhelms

But when I yield to you

I am changed

I have failed at the simplest things

My will no steadfast

But like the waves

Tossed to and fro upon a whim

But you draw me in again

I cry in weakness

I cry in pain

I cry in anger

Disappointment

Frustration

But this weakness 

That feels like ruin

Pushes me to the ground

Humbled

From the dust I cry out

Liberate me from the madness

Fixing my eyes on you

I am changed

Learning to love you

I become unstained

Purify me within

Oh righteous one

God of gods

King of kings

Holy wind
