Save Me From Me by Richard Shekari from Abuja, Fct Nigeria

save me from me

verse 1:
lover of my soul, father, i can’t live without you; without you i am lost in this world.
you died to save my soul—father, i am here, take my heart; without you i am lost in this world.

i’m famished — feed my soul; i can’t make sense of this life without you.
surround me with your light, o lord.
lord jesus, cleanse my soul; drive every shadow from my heart.
enfold me with your love, o lord.

pre-chorus:
i’m done with fooling myself—lord, save me from me.
o jesus, take all of me, my lord.
you’re all that i have, lord—save me from me.
o father, take all of me, my lord.

chorus:
father, consume my desire with your holy fire; fill me with your hunger, o lord.
let my life become your desire—ignite in me your fire; fill me with your hunger, o lord.

verse 2:
i see you picking up the pieces, putting them together—
so gentle and patient, lord.
you lift me up with tender love; no wonder you reign above all.
so gentle and patient, lord.

though from clay you shaped me, lord, you breathed your love into my soul.
you’re gentle and patient, lord.
though sin has torn me, o dear lord, your loving hands restore my soul.
you’re gentle and patient, lord. *pre-chorus + chorus*

bridge:
break every chain inside of me, lord; strip away what’s not of you.
lead me back to the path of truth — guide me through, jesus
when my heart wages war within, lord, speak and the storm will flee from me.
i lay my will at your feet… take all of me, father. *pre-chorus + chorus*
