Getting back to the Lord.

Thy Word I have hidden, dear Lord, in my heart
Seeking daily to follow Your Way.
But more times than I count, I go off on my own
And I find my heart going astray.
Oh, I know that it grieves you, as Father to son:
You want more than I seek to achieve.
Oh, God, open my heart, help my will to let go,
Help my staggering faith to believe!

(Refrain)
Burn away all the dross I've collected in vain,
Take the silver and gold, and refine it again,
Turn my heart to Your own,
Clear each sin that You see,
Til Jesus is all that is left of me,
Til Jesus is all that is left...

Thy Word is a lamp and a light for my path,
If only I'll follow it thru.
It's not that You haven't provide the way,
For You've shown us the Way that is true.
And sometimes I am torn 'tween what's good and what's best,
Just as much as what's good and what's bad.
Shine Your light on my soul, search and try me today,
Give me reason to see and be glad!

(Repeat refrain twice or more)
