I'd struggled alone while travelin' this land

and every day I rejected your helping hand

You sent helping angels, you sent loving friends

But I seemed determined on self destruction in the end

I tried to examine my own life but I had clouded eyes

I'd convinced myself I was worthy through man's justifyin' lies

So take me and test me and try me; make your will my own

Make me appreciate the sacrifice you made for me through your son

I'd looked at the world through a pious sneer

I could tell everyone else how your word was so clear

But I lived my own life just nodding at your mercy and your grace

Lord, destroy my will and put your love in its place.

I tried to examine my own life but I had clouded eyes

I'd convinced myself I was worthy through man's justifyin' lies

So take me and test me and try me; make your will my own

Make me appreciate the sacrifice you made for me through your son

I tried to examine my own life but I had clouded eyes

I'd convinced myself I was worthy through man's justifyin' lies

So take me and test me and try me; make your will my own

Make me appreciate the sacrifice you made for me through your son
