The Burden of Religion ~

Lord, please set me free . . .
from the burden of religion
cast aside the smoke and mirrors
that are clouding up my vision.

Break down the wall of greed,
shatter the egotistical foundation
that is in Your church today
so I’ll not be led into temptation.

Sever the chains of works,
tear apart the man-made laws
crush under Your foot
each statute and every clause.

Pull me out from under,
all the whistles and the bells
take way all my earthly idols
lest I may find myself in hell.

Lord, please set me free . . .
from being just religious
for I know without repentance
there will be no forgiveness!

Revive Me, O’ Lord

Revive me O’ Lord,
fill my heart with a fiery passion
give me a hunger and a thirst
to put Your love into action.

Revive me O’ Lord,
bring about a true restoration
open my eyes to the truth
let Your love be my inspiration.

Revive me O’ Lord,
I need a spiritual awakening
bring Your Spirit into my life
give me a genuine quickening.

Revive me O’ Lord,
give me a zeal for only You
fill my heart with Your purpose
let Your love be in all I do.

Revive me O’ Lord,
fill me with Your power
revive me O’ Lord . . .
right here, right now, this hour!
