Wean me from the world Place your hand upon my heart The temptations are a hindrance Love and mercy now impart Wean me from my self Place your Spirit within my soul Attachments block the work of God Silence and peace my spiritual goal Wean me from my sinfulness Place your blood on my past Lust has been a great ordeal Forgiveness and rest will surely last Lord I need thee to create A wall of protection from all strife Adam's light must be extinguished Only Christ's can give me life We all children of the world Born without a spiritual spark Satan gets to take advantage Until Christ makes His mark The time has come to bid farewell To all earthy traps and snares Christ alone my only desire To Him I give my prayers and cares It's time to make a clean break No more straddle between heaven and earth God has called me to be holy Wean me Lord for all it's worth I just want to be like You! Amen |
