Hollow Branch

Brought down by my selfishness Can't let go of my own desires. Mainframe of self-pity Can't even stop complaining to myself I'm falling apart. Bring change to my heart From the inside out. Realign my focus I am hollow without you. Weeds of my path choke you out. Cares of this life only bring me doubt My efforts fail without you Oh God, fill my heart, remove dry rot If I remain in You, You will remain in me. And through your words, I can reach into your presence. Teach me how to think, show me how to be. How to overcome all of the darkness. Bring Your word to life, deep inside my mind. Fill in this void with the water that gives everlasting life. Let Your Spirit flow through; revive, renew, restore my brittle soul.
