Overrule Me

I am a wayward child at times

Presuming on your grace

I've committed oh so many crimes

Like resisting your embrace

Lord prevail over my ignorance

My arguments disallow

Take me to my knees till my spirit repents

Reverse my bad decisions somehow

Oh Jesus! overrule me

For your glory and my good

Though Satan tries to fool me

I'll surrender to you

I will render to you

My obedience just as I should

Make me a man under authority

Change my heart and change my mind

Over whelm my desires till your way I see

And your perfect will may I find

When I am contrary and act like a fool

Your discipline is what I need

So my stubborn stony heart overrule

Teach me to obey as you intercede

Wretched man that I am, who will rescue me

Who in the world will give me liberty

From this life that is dominated by sin?

Thank God for my deliverance in Him

The death sentence is overruled and I am free

Oh Jesus, overrule me

For your glory and my good

Though Satan tries to fool me

I'll surrender to you

I will render to you

My obedience just as I should

Jesus, overrule me

Jesus, overrule me

Jesus, overrule me

What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also.
