prayer

May your world shake
Till the apathy falls out of your soul
May the emptiness grow
May you bleed; enough to know your broken
And long to be whole

Chorus:
May the fire consume you
Till the old self is destroyed
And there is room for new.
And may you cry, when you look upon sin
And may you die, to the life that you're in
May your heart break
Till it yields to the king
May you sing a new song

May the pleasures that this world offers never satisfy
May you hunger
till you taste bread of life
I pray you stumble
till you fall down on your knees
And in surrender, find victory

[Chorus]

May life bring tears
Enough to wash the clouds from your eyes
Enough that you cry a new song...
