MORE OF HIM, LESS OF ME

Heard this song on the radio the other day and suddenly the words struck me. I want this chorus to be my prayer...how about you?????????

I’ve had just enough

Of the spotlight when it burns bright

To see how it gets in the blood

I’ve tasted my share

Of the sweet life and the wild ride

And found a little is not quite enough

I know how I can stray

And how fast my heart could change

Chorus:

Empty me of the selfishness inside

Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride

And any foolish thing my heart holds onto Lord,

empty me of me so I can be filled with You

I’ve seen just enough

Of the quick buys of the best lies

To know how prodigals can be drawn away

I know how I can stray

And how fast my heart could change

Chorus:

‘Cause everything is a lesser thing

Compared to You, compared to You

‘Cause everything is a lesser thing

Compared to You, so I surrender all
