Take my strength, take my pride,
Take my selfishness away Take my rights, take ambition, Capture me, make me a slave
Break my walls, break
my bones, Break my hardened heat Rip my rule, rip my will, Rip independency apart
Breathe Your life, Breathe
Your love, Breathe You breath and I'm sustained Take my hate, take my hurt, Express healing to my pain
Take
my flesh in all its arrogance, my stability away Take my life, bring fire, 'til only You remain
Chorus: Laid
out on my face My tongue hanging out to taste Of You and Your death And to know Your name
Accept my gifts,
take my crowns, I spread them at your feet When I bleed, I bleed with joy as I taste Your suffering Flood life,
flood peace, speak acceptance to my shame Allow to kneel, allow to praise, Give the right to speak Your name
(Chorus)
