Refresh My Soul

Lord refresh my soul anew

bring me back Lord to the side of you

Like ocean waves on the sea side shore

Crash over me, Lord make me more

Purge the selfishness I hold inside

Destroy the things I try to hide

Restore my strength to stand against

The world, this flesh I cling unto

Put them behind the power of you

Though broken and battered I seem to be

Restore the one you made as me

The things that are temptation sore

Just blind my eyes to see no more

When the voice that bids me come aside

Your whisper rise above the tide

From the ocean floor Lord, bring me up

Help my heart to rise above
Those hurts others have intentionally done
The ones I've yet to overcome
Just put them far beneath the sea
Far from the memory which resides in me
And though I may feel tossed aside
No desirable use others may find
I know for a fact Lord value you see

A purpose for even one such as me

A plan of use for the kingdoms sake

A difference in heaven yet to be made
Gird my mind Lord with this truth 

True value is found only in you
Washed and cleansed and made brand new
Give me purpose Lord, a reason to rise
above the pain, above the tide
Draw me close Lord into your arms
Where your presence outweighs 
The sound of the storms
 Turn my eyes from those who have caused me pain
Let forgiveness pour down like rain
 Uproot the bitterness found within
Which has cause the scar, increased the sin
And just like the ocean forever new
Refresh my soul with the fragrance of you
