Christians Don’t Tell Lies, But They Sing Thousands

God I don’t want to sing another lie to You. I need all words leaving my mouth to represent Your Truth. For words result from what my heart has stored inside, and although my spirit feeds on Truth, my flesh feasts on lies.

I do not give You all my heart or my everything. I do not live for You alone. I do not always follow where You lead. I do not always mean the words I sing.

But I want to.

Obedience to You is a blessed thing. But it’s easier to sing than change my routine. I submit pieces of myself, but You want all of me. Please help me die to this self entirely.

If anything is clear it’s that my heart needs only You. If anything is clear it’s that I must apply Your Truth. If anything is clear it’s that without grace I’d be doomed. For who You are, while who I am, I must say “I love You.”

And if I don’t really want to please help me want to.
