Story Behind the Song
Honest appraisal of my need for God in all facets of my life and how my life often doesn't measure up to what I want because I hold things back. This song is about letting God have all of my tattered self.
Lyrics
this tattered shirt it barely hides, the wounds in my sides,
your marks of love
and my mind only meddles in my real purpose
infectious peace fall from above
letting go of my ways, eyes open, I won't sway
balance me, precious Lord
in the balance i stand of eternal decisions
Lord take my pride and take control
I wanna be where you are,
I wanna share your thoughts,
Oh Lord just light me up,
shine on me and fill my cup
I wanna be where you are
how perfect are Your ways
how perfect are Your ways
how holy is Your law
how redeeming is your grace
riches found have fooled us all to think they're blessings,
have mercy Majesty
knowledge puffs from useless books can cloud our vision
we need wisdom from Your Word
take shelter i say, in the One who knows The Way
You are The Truth, You are The Life
and now is the time to make eternal desisions,
Lord take my life and take control.
