Whatever You Want Me to Be

Find me here, sitting in the dark,
Waiting for the morning sun.

Find me here, even though I feel so far;

Affirm You'll finish what You have begun.

Find me when I stray,

And when my heart is yearning

For a better day,

Embers barely even burning.

Take this broken man;

This windswept wanderer.

Take this brief lifespan,

This wistful ponderer.

Tho you know I'm prone to deflection,

Change my heart till I become a reflection

Of You, only You;

Restore me, renew

What's left of me;

The best of me

Is whatever You want me to be.

Break my will; shatter every plan

Whenever I yield to my pride.

Have Your way; make of this man

A temple where You can abide.

Lift me to great heights

Beyond dreams transitory.

Touch my scaly eyes

That I might behold Your glory.

Take this broken man;

This windswept wanderer.

Take this brief lifespan,

This wistful ponderer.

Tho you know I'm prone to deflection,

Change my heart till I become a reflection

Of You, only You;

Restore me, renew

What's left of me;

The best of me

Is whatever You want me to be.

I long to be whatever You want me to be.
