Gnashing Of Teeth

Hollow Branch

Gnashing Of Teeth


Brought down by my selfishness 
Can't let go of my own desires 
Mainframe of self-pity 
Can't even stop complaining to myself 
I'm falling apart Bring change to my heart 
From the inside out 
Realign my focus 
I am hollow without you 
Weeds of my path choke you out 
Cares of this life only bring me doubt 
My efforts fail without you 
Oh God, fill my heart, remove dry rot 
If I remain in You, 
You will remain in me 
And through your words, 
I can reach into your presence 
Teach me how to think, show me how to be 
How to overcome all of the darkness 
Bring Your word to life, deep inside my mind 
Fill in this void with the water that gives everlasting life Let Your Spirit flow through; revive, renew, restore my brittle soul
