Use Me For Your Will

I’ve lived my life for myself,
Seeking glory from man and earthly wealth.
Many days drained away that had no value,
Accepting lies of thought that I made true.

I built my own wall that contained me,
Anger, hate, drugs and neglect were just a few of the blocks that I built between me, God and
family.
A tragic experience changed my life,
Hurting many others including my children and wife.

Why was I so blind of my ignorance,
Now I can only pray that I can receive a second chance.
Lord I’m grasping for your help and grace,
The wall I’ve built I know you can take its place.

Reverse my actions and make me a new man,
Now I know that’s it’s on the solid rock I stand.
Help me Lord to climb to the top of this wretched hill,
And please Lord, my hearts’ desire is for you to use me for your will.
