Take This Life - Shawn McDonald

As I’m standing here, staring into the mirror

See the figure of a man trying to take a stand

And live for something more

Integrity is what I need and honor to my soul I feed

To give it up, pack it in, getting rid of all my sin that’s weighing me down

Won’t You come and fill

I want You to come and make me more real

Take this life, won’t You change this life

Come and make me whole

Won’t You take this life, won’t You change this life

Come and make me whole

In my pursuit of what is real

My heart is longing with a need to feel my soul come alive

I trudge and I step through the height and the death

Of a long narrow road** as I’m growing old

And soon I will be home
