Learning To Surrender

These thoughts I retrace in my mind
each sin upon my heart I bind
ingrained in eyes that cannot see 
O' God, be merciful to me

This spirit that dwell deep within
still calls my strands of soul to mend
in my thoughts I cry desperately 
O' God, be merciful to me

Gazing upward with tear in eye
how longing breath can only sigh
and guilt within won't let me be
O' God, be merciful to me

On cold floor I drop upon my knee
I plead in love of hope to see
my sin I've held without a key
O' God, be merciful to me

Soon a day surrender shall come
to learn a gift of ancient drums 
of faith He says "eyes shall soon see"
a lovely mercy given thee.............................
