Ways of my heart

l know the ways of my heart,
l have desired nothing but to quench the desires of my flesh,
The thoughts of my heart have been laid bare before me me'
They are ever leading me away from you.

My heart is deeply troubled, my Lord,
Its filled with feelings of loneliness and despair,
Deep down inside there's a sense of hopelessness,
Loneliness remains my best companion.

The sacrifices of a broken heart you will not despise,
Create in me a new heart, a pure heart,
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
And burn my sins away with the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Raise me up again, Lord,
Renew within me a steadfast spirit,
Clothe me in the righteousness of Jesus,
That l may sing of your praises again.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
That my lips may declare aloud your faithfulness
The truth of your Word has set me free,
The enemy can no longer bind.

Jesus is my freedom, my truth, my light, my righteousness,
He who made himself nothing, is my life!
My hope shall forever be in God.
In Jesus l will place my trust.
