When I seem empty, Lord, and poured completely out
Break me further if need be to truly empty myself of me
Leave nothing left to my own chance
Nothing left but sovereign dance
Turn fire upon this selected vessel
Pour oil in so I am covered completely
Pour oil in so it runs out the cracks,
the thin spots, and especially the holes
And ignite it, let it burn clear
Clothe me with light
Like the beacons that draw people
let me draw people to you
Humble me. Lord. I don't care what your cost
To raise you higher, everything is worth it
To shine with your name is worth it all the way
I want to see your love, and want to know your love
but more than that, I need to show your love
Let it pour out the holes in my life
that you don't heal, you don't take away
It's like I laid my life at your feet
and you gave the broken parts back
along with the rest
I was hoping you would take them, fix them
but you gave them back
So I'll stand as close as i can, and always again
put it all at your feet
When you pick me up and send me I'll go,
but stand yourself above me
Tower over me in love
Stand tall upon my shoulders
- it's why you've given me strength
Go strong upon my voice
- my breath is for nothing else
Burn bright upon my head
fill this place with your glory, your love
Consume me Lord, again and again
Perfect your inheritance
in the hearts of your sons and your daughters
Come burn in me
