Lyrics

Oh Lord, take Your proper place as my priority
Remove the hardness of my heart
rekindle the fire that once embraced only you
break the strangle hold of self to set me free
Bring me back to You

Verse 1
The many years, so many tears, so many fears
You’ve held me in your arms,
You’ve kept me safe from harm
You’ve been the brightest hope in my life

Chorus
Oh Lord, take Your proper place as my priority
Remove the hardness of my heart
rekindle the fire that once embraced only you
break the strangle hold of self to set me free
Bring me back to You

Verse 2
I’ve needed You to walk with me, to bring me through
the roads that made me trip and fall
Your constant love, Your precious love
I’ve traded for the meaningless nothings at all

Bridge
I don’t want this hardened heart that’s binding me
I’m sorry to have let the worries of the day, the thoughts that let me stray,
the eyes that turned away from Your holiness, Your Majesty,
Your amazing sovereignty

Outro
I surrender Lord, Do whatever it takes to break my heart
I remember Lord
When You were first to me
Bring my darkened heart back to you
