I long for a new me

As a deer longs for flowing streams,

So my soul longs for you oh Lord
My soul thirsts for you
My heart yearns for you
Lord, not because you not there,
But because I lack your character in me
I long for a new me

In every season you have been consistent
Every promise you have fulfilled
Providence of my needs you have given
Protection you have granted
With overflowing blessings you have showered me.
My sins you have forgiven
Not to mention the gift of life you have preserved.
Yet I still doubted your presence.
Lord not because you not faithful,
But because I lacked faith in you.
I long for a new me

In meekness and remorse oh Lord
I now come humbly unto your throne,
Forgive me for my ignorance
With a repenting heart,
I present my body as a living sacrifice.
Create in me a clean heart 💓
And renew the right spirit within me
That in what ever I do, eat or drink
I may bring Glory to you.

With recognition of my sins
And the Holy Spirit's conviction of my iniquities
I beg to be washed,
And cleansed from all unrighteousness.
Anoint me with your grace
Humble me oh God,
That you may be lifted up.
I long for a new me

For your teachings are perfect,
They renew the soul
Your testimony is dependable,
It makes gullible man wise
Your instructions are correct,
They make the heart rejoice
Your commandments are radiant,
They make the eyes shine
Your mercy is great, it endures forever
Your decisions are true,
They are completely fair.


Teach me then Lord,
To be faithful in all things
In my heart, let me love truly
In my body, let me be your dwelling place
In my mind, let me think heavenward
With my character, may you be seen
Through my life, let me be a sermon
And by faith and works clothed in your grace,
Ready me for heaven.
I long, I desire, I wish, I pray for a new me.
