Dying to Self

Break my heart
Purify my soul
Take away the things
That hinder me from loving you

Point out what’s wrong
Open my eyes to the things I need to change
Help me see what I can’t appreciate
Let me grow closer to your arms

Teach me how to serve
Take away all my bitterness
Help me see your blessings
So that I’ll learn to share them

Bring me to the place
Where I can learn to make sacrifices
Not just for myself
But also for the people you love

Take me to your heart
Show me about what compassion is
Until I learn to love
And die for others’ sake
