*****
My soul pains me by her strong craving
My desire eats me from within
I want nothing more but this one thing
My greatest desire, my craving is a new heart
I long and wait for the day I win this prize
*****
Free me from the torment of this wretched soul
Take away this heart that oozes the blood of evil
Grant me the sanctified soul of my Lord
That I will know no evil and do no wrong
I desire and long for the day I get a new heart
*****
I desire to do right and live in purity
To walk in righteousness after you
But the enemy in me derails me
For her desire is not my desire
My desire is a heart like yours Lord
*****
But thanks be to God am now free
That though wretchedness lives in me
Am free from her rule through the cross
And I will fight against this power
Looking forward to the day of your return
*****
I take on me your armour
By the meditation of your Word
In light of your calling
And by unending prayer
Desiring to conquer this war of evil
*****
keep the fire burning, the desire to live for God is mutual here
