America's Poet - take me there Lyrics

Oh Lord
Take me to the deep places of my heart
Take me to the areas that are dark
Show me the hidden places where there are scars
I've got to go there for me to break free of the grip of dependencies that ride me
I can't reach them with my reason
My will commits treason in justifying their existence
I point the finger at another soul
I curse the face of a familiar shape
Even though we both go to church
Praying the same thing
Shouting Amen when the preacher yells the truth
Like a knife, it cuts through
Convicting me of how much I need you
If I'm to be free
You must take me there
With my hand in yours, I'll be ok
It only brings more pain when I try to arrange things
No change
Only evidence that the dark places of my heart still have scars
That forgiveness still needs to be given
I'm here, Lord Jesus
With a heart that's repentive
I plead with you
Take me there
I will go
I want to be free in my soul
I want to know
How to flow
With you
For your kingdom to come
Through me
For your will to be done by me
I yield my heart
I renew my mind
I'm ready now
I've opened my heart ear
For you, oh God
To take me
There
