Story behind the song
I found this quote after I had written this song, but it fits perfectly with the song's intent. From the hour George Muller began to serve the Crucified One he entered more and more fully into the fellowship of His sufferings, seeking to be made conformable unto His death. He gave up fortune-seeking and fame-seeking; he cut loose from the world with its snares and joys; he tested even churchly traditions and customs by the word of God, and step by step conformed to the pattern showed in that word. Every such step was a new self-denial, but it was following Him. He chose voluntary poverty that others might be rich, and voluntary loss that others might have gain. His life was one long endeavor to bless others, to be the channel for conveying God’s truth and love and grace to them…To one who asked him the secret of his service he said: “There was a day when I died, utterly died;” and, as he spoke, he bent lower and lower until he almost touched the floor—“died to George Muller, his opinions, preferences, tastes and will—died to the world, its approval or censure—died to the approval or blame even of my brethren and friends—and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God.” A. T. Pierson writing about George Muller
Lyrics
Wean Me From This World First Verse What if I gave up all these earthly dreams All that I’ve sought for so selfishly I’ve caught a glimpse of just how empty they can be And now I recognize my need Chorus Wean me from this world, help me stop this chase For money and for power, for pleasure and for fame Would You take all that I have for Your great priced Pearl Oh, my God, wean me from this world Second Verse What if I would put all my treasure in The only Place with value when this world ends I want to give my life to the One Who died for me Lord, would you set this captive free Repeat Chorus Ending – Repeat first two lines of First Verse
