Take Away

Meet me in the storm

Give me eyes to see

Your merciful destruction

Of the lies beguiling me

All I build upon the sand

Of false philosophy

I surrender to the storm

That washes over me

Meet me in the fire

That burns away the dross

Of all I have a tendency

To cling to but the cross

Lesser things that I desire

That turn my heart from you

I surrender to the fire

So I can burn for you

With your fire

Purify

In the storm

Make me clean

Take away

Everything

In the way

And in between

Where I am

And you are

I am counting

On the cross

And all else

That I have

I will count it

All as loss

Meet me when I stumble

Meet me in despair

Meet me in this temple

Fallen down in disrepair

I tremble in your presence

But I need to be renewed

So I'm willing to surrender

All that needs to be removed
