    Dying to Self

    Break my heartPurify my soulTake away the thingsThat hinder me from loving you Point out what’s wrongOpen my eyes to the things I need to changeHelp me see what I can’t appreciateLet me grow closer to your arms Teach me how to serveTake away all my bitternessHelp me see your blessingsSo that I’ll learn to share them Bring me to the placeWhere I can learn to make sacrificesNot just for myselfBut also for the people you love Take me to your heartShow me about what compassion isUntil I learn to loveAnd die for others’ sake
