To Be More Like You

Chest is heavy

Grief descending

My Body wretching, 

Mirroring my aching soul. 

The hurt is piercing, 

Sinking to my core 

One blessed thought turns to you 

And all I know,

Is you suffered a million heart breaks

And weathered every storm 

You took upon you pain that none could bear

You endured every feeling 

of loneliness, 

Despair.  

You made it  through, 

I beg you to 

Take me in your arms

 love me 

and show me how,

 to be like more like you.  

I'm Selfish, wretched

Filthy, proud

Anguished by the state I'm in

To what can I amount? 

I am discouraged

Weak is my will

But on my knees I turn to thee

To find Love remaining still

 Cause You've felt the pain of every sin

And than a million more 

You took on the blame in greater share

Enduring every feeling 

Of worthlessness

And shame

My broken heart

I give to you

Take me in your arms

Forgive me 

and show me how,

to be like more like you. 

As I turn thy way

In every smile, sin and tear

Thy love transforms

My heart to mirror yours!

In your tender arms I'm molded

To be so much more

Than wayward child 

And broken soul. 

So everything, 

I give to you

Take me in your arms  

Bless me.

And show me how

To be more like you
