Bless my Memory

I awaken with a start, pulse a- pounding with my heart

As Iíve dreamed another nightmare of the soul

Like a vision dark but clear I am flushed with fiery fear

And Iím on the verge of losing all control.

For a moment Iím a prisoner of a still fresh memory

My past lifeÝ rears its ugly head as my mind plays tricks on me

And I need a check on my reality.

For in those moments chains of doubt

Come to my heart and find me out

I surely need your Grace to see me through

For I was lost but now Iím found

That former life canít keep me bound

But sometimes Lord I find it hard to trust

You understand that I am only dust.

So I will remember the day when you taught me how to pray

And pray I will until my knees are sore

For there is no lack in you- myÝ hard heart hasnít got a clue

Yet you dwell inside me at my very core

Thatís what you have promised, and thatís what I believe

Iíll trust, adhere, rely on this thing impossible to conceive

This gift that I have received

There are moments chains of doubt

Come to my heart and find me out

I surely need your Grace to see me through

For I was lost but now Iím found

That former life canít keep me bound

But sometimes Lord I find it hard to trust

You understand that I am only dust.

But I see the transformation and I see the evidence

And Iíll walk by faith and not by sight in growing confidence

As I cast myself upon your mercy seat

I pray my consecration be complete.

Forgive my sin as I confess

Restore my soul to righteousness

Help me Lord to bless this testÖ

And bless my memory.
