It seems I struggle with my heart My fallen nature from the start Who places “I” upon the throne No thought of God… Just me Alone I live my life in search of pleasure Whatever passions I think to treasure fevered dreams a false mirage A sinful king in camouflage [chorus] Teach me the meaning of humility To view your word with sanctity Train my heart towards purity To act in holy obscurity The world saw passion, success and power A kingdom built to wholly devour The soul of a man, enslaved was I To worship that which can’t satisfy The cisterns I dug, the water’s polluted The sins of my heart in pride I saluted Lust of the flesh… and lust of the eyes My vanity drowned out my souls mournful cries [chorus] Teach me the meaning of humility To view your word with sanctity Train my heart towards purity To act in holy obscurity But though I seem lost…a path of destruction The Spirit has fallen to give me instruction My eyes have been opened…my ears can now hear The voice of my Abba as He walks with me near He speaks of His purpose, his mercy and grace New life in Yeshua that I’d see His face A child of the King, a son unto God Righteous in Christ and no longer a fraud [chorus] Teach me the meaning of humility To view your word with sanctity Train my heart towards purity To act in holy obscurity The cross holds my shame, it’s nailed to the wood Yeshua has done what I never could He willingly died, his blood shed for me Redeeming my soul from sin’s slavery And so I desire to follow Yeshua To empty myself…my heart’s hallelujah Submitting my heart, my mind and my soul Becoming like Jesus becomes my life’s goal Teach me the meaning of humility To view your word with sanctity Train my heart towards purity To act in holy obscurity
