The likeness of You, Lord, in me
Is my desire – Lord, let it be!
O, let me know Your love in place --
Tho’ mud be plastered in my face.
Peel back the calloused layers of hurt --
Let me not stoop to pick up dirt.
The likeness of You, Lord, in me
Is my desire – Lord, let it be!
Let humbleness of soul remain --
No arrogance or foolish pride --
Let me not take that empty ride --
But in me, Lord -- please Lord, abide.
The likeness of You, Lord, in me
My greatest longing, Lord, You see.
Tho’ others do not understand --
You know the Truth – there’s nothing left.
You are the freedom in my breath --
Surrender -- brings life after death.
The death of self to embrace Christ
O, Jesus, is that sacrifice?
To lose myself – and gain You Lord
The gain is so much, so much MORE!
I would not trade an empty life
For one that’s filled with sacrifice.
