Lord Help Me Be
(Rich Mullins)
Lord, help me be what you want me to be. 'Cause, being Yours is all that I want
Your line is tight as a kite string, and higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song!
I tried to do it myself. But, it left me stranded.
So many directions, and no way to go.
The cards I was dealt, made a promise in hand.
But, never got me into the show!
But, You gave life to these dying songs.
Sharp as a knife, You clean the marrow from the bone!
Lord, help me be what you want me to be. 'Cause, being Yours is all that I want
Your line is tight as a kite string, and higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song!
I looked after my lusts, sold my soul to play the game!
But, You knew the rules so much better.
The moth and the rust will eventually claim everything I took as my treasure!
But, in You I have riches this world can't corrupt.
So, help me believe it and trust in Your love, sweet love!
Lord, help me be what you want me to be. 'Cause, being Yours is all that I want
Your line is tight as a kite string, and higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song!
Oh, Lord! Oh, Jesus! You never meant for us to go it alone.
I'm so course. This world's so cheap.
It's nothing like anyplace you'd want to call home!
Lord, help me be what you want me to be. 'Cause, being Yours is all that I want
Your line is tight as a kite string, and higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song!
