COME EMPTY ME OF SELF
1. Come empty me of
self, O Lord,
My cunning heart
renew.
So wondrous holy is
this work,
No one but Thou can
do.
Refrain
Come empty me of
self, O Lord,
No good there is
inside.
Deceived by pride,
thro'-out my life,
In darkness do I hide.
Come empty me of
self, so I
Can at last be
revived.
2. Hear Thou my cry
to Thee, O Lord,
Cleanse Thou these
sins of mine!
I cannot bear to
see myself,
More so those eyes
of Thine.
3. Why do I live in
restlessness?
Show me what to
discard!
My conscience keeps
accusing me -
What sin do I
regard?
4. In fellowship
with Thee, Thy face
Is oft' hidden and
veiled;
Why is my faith so
insecure?
Show me where I
have failed!
