Overwhelm Me

Inundate me with your Spirit and take captive every thought

Overwhelm all my opinions and the lies that I have bought

Destroy every argument raised up against the light

That I might obey your word by the power of Your might

Overwhelm me, overwhelm me Lord

Vanquish every doubt and fear for I cannot afford

To wallow in the shadows, to drown within the flood

Overwhelm all my temptations as I glory in the blood.

You are the Overlord of Life, you are the King of Kings

Give me strength to bend the knee and mend my broken wings

Over circumstances I would fly and on heaven set my sight

Lord, overwhelm my senses till you alone are my delight.

Triumph over weak desires and claim the victory

Set my vision on your worth and truly humble me

Overwhelm my arrogance and tame my prideful ways

Devastate my willfulness as on your face I gaze

Overwhelm me, overwhelm me Lord

Conquer every futile thought that is not in accord

With the privileges that you provide, with the glory that you give

Overwhelm my weak desires so I can truly live

A humble spirit and contrite heart you will not cast aside

You reward the pure in heart but despise haughty pride

Take away our stubbornness and our temptations thwart.

Your eye seeks out humility to give it strong support

Overwhelm me, overwhelm me Lord

Conquer every futile thought that is not in accord

With the privileges that you provide, with the glory that you give

Overwhelm my weak desires so I can truly live

Overwhelm my weak desires so I can truly live

Overwhelm my weak desires so I can truly live!
