Set Me To Singing

Set Me To Singing

 

 

Lord set my heart to singing

In this barren wilderness

I have so much Lord to praise you for

I have so much to confess

 

When I bare my soul to the one who sees

With my unpure offering youíre pleased

And Iím lifted as I fall on my knees

And I sing my song to you

 

Lord set my soul to singing

Change the rhythm of my heartís beat

Purify my store of wickedness

And remove all the deceit

 

For my weeping eyes I turn to you

Give me back my sight and my joy renew

When Iím drowning show me what to do

Let me sing a song to you.

 

Lord set my mind to singing

Bring new order to the strife

Let me set my mind on things above

Renew my fragmented life

 

In the stillness of the deepening night

In the clamor of the morning light

In the fever of the daily fight

I would sing a song to you
