Here's another one. This one's taken me almost a year to write.. to live, and to learn, the depths of its message. To be honest, it's been tough.. so tough only one person would know. Or rather, would have known. Heh. Kudos to you.


You ask
That I deny myself
Deny my flesh, deny my past
So I try
I try to leave behind
These jewels to which I cling
To burn
Burn the dross of self
To take up the cross and follow You
But Lord
It's tearing me up inside
Is this the price of sacrifice?


Chorus:
Stars flung into delirium
Grace be my salvation
Free this pride pretension
Help me melt away
To total reformation
Open-heart obedience
Jesus be my reason
I need to melt away
Melt away


Deliverer
Save me from myself
From pride so cleverly disguised
Come and fill
Fill me with heaven's breath
Gasps of life from You
This life
In mustard faith I lay
Surrendered to Your higher way
Jesus
Make me more like You
Love's two lines of sacrifice


Bridge:
Flowers in the rain
Grant that I may die...
To live again
