life music | God's Love Awakens My Soul

I

Satan has corrupted my soul.

I am so proud and vain.

Satan has poisoned my thoughts.

I long to love You but fall short,

oh, but fall short.

The judgment of Your words

makes me know myself.

I see my corruption,

that no part of me is good.

No conscience, no sense,

no dignity remain.

Without salvation,

I might live like one who is dead.

You face danger to work among us,

judge, refine and call us,

renew our corrupted souls,

then our lives have value.

I will suffer all there is to suffer,

offer my final devotion.

I will be an honest man,

and I will make no demands.

II

I am blessed,

You exalt me so I can do my duty.

Yet I disobey You

and I muddle through it.

Oh, I muddle through it.

You expose who I am

and my evil nature.

I acknowledge in my words,

but my heart still disobeys.

You see man's corruption

and You worry for him.

Yet I have no conscience.

I cannot comfort You.

You face danger to work among us,

judge, refine and call us,

renew our corrupted souls,

then our lives have value.

I will suffer all there is to suffer,

offer my final devotion.

I will be an honest man,

and I will make no demands.

III

I have undergone Your judgment

and painful refinement.

I have seen just how great

and how real is Your salvation!

'Cause of Your great patience,

I can repay Your love.

But I learn too late.

My debt is too great.

You face danger to work among us,

judge, refine and call us,

renew our corrupted souls,

then our lives have value.

I will suffer all there is to suffer,

offer my final devotion.

I will be an honest man,

and I will make no demands.
