The Blessing of the Breaking

Consecrate me- all my life employ!

Desolate me- all my pride destroy!

Lord, I am but a man, limited in what I understand

But at the cross I lay it all down...I want to see it baptized, I want to see it drown

Even though you slay me, evenm though I die

The blessing of the breaking is better than knowing why.

I want to be consecrated even if it means being devastated

Until my heart is made new, and all I can see is you...

Filled with passion for people, sympathy for souls

Knowing that you love me, be the source of all my goals

I want to live a life that the Holy Spirit controls.
