A Wayward Heart

I kneel before thee
A torn, repentant heart,
I submit myself unto thee
As a sinner would depart
From Sodom and Gomorrah;
As I live to breathe free once more.

Accept me as I am,
Flawed and mangled,
Like a confused sacrificial lamb;
Cut loose my bonds of anger,
Crush my inner demons
Below thy gauntlet of justice.

Guide my wayward heart
That I may walk the path
Of cleansing fire and stone hard;
Teach me once more how to laugh,
Grant me your peace,
Peace the world cannot comprehend.

I may be worthless among men,
But you look not upon my guilt
But on the faith of this broken man;
Thou art my sword and my shield,
Blot out my guilt O Lord!
I feel revolted by my existence.
