Bend Me, Mold Me, Shape Me (click on title for lyrics)

(r preston maddox)
Lord I long to know You,
See Your face and touch Your hand . . .
To feel the peace and comfort You provide . . .
But in my shame and weakness
I’m not worthy there to stand -
Bend me, mold me, shape me, draw me to Your side

Set upon Your firm foundation,
Help me there to build . . .
Gold and silver, precious stones provide . . .
For all my works will suffer loss
When in the fire they’re tried -
Bend me, mold me, shape me, draw me to Your side

Jesus, You have saved me
And one day You’ll call me home -
But in this present world I must survive . . .
The choices here aren’t easy
And temptations can be strong -
Bend me, mold me, shape me, draw me to Your side

Lord I fear Your trials
Because I know that I am weak -
Lift me up with Your strong arm against the tide . . .
And in the hours of darkness
Give me grace Your strength to seek -
Bend me, mold me, shape me, draw me to Your side

On my own I can do nothing -
But with You I can do all ! -
Help me die to self and take away my pride -
Give me grace and make me humble
Like the One that I adore -
Bend me, mold me, shape me, draw me to Your side

Sometimes it’s not easy
Just to leave my past behind
And to live like I believe the Blood’s applied . . .
Help my unbelief, O Lord,
And keep me ‘til the time -
Bend me, mold me, shape me, draw me to Your side
Break me and remake me,
And forever I’ll abide -
Bend me, mold me, shape me, draw me to Your side
