I've had just enough of the spotlight when it burns bright to see how it gets in the blood.
And I've tasted my share of the sweet life and the wild ride, and found a little is not quite enough.
I know how I can stray. And how fast my heart can change.
Chorus: Empty me of the selfishness inside. Every vain ambision and the poison of my pride. And any foolish thing my heart holds to. Lord, empty me of me so I can be filled with You.
I've seen just enough of the quick buys of the best lies to know how prodigals can be drawn away.
Chorus: Empty me of the selfishness inside. Every vain ambision and the poison of my pride. And any foolish thing my heart holds to. Lord, empty me of me so I can be filled with You.
Bridge: 'Cause everything is a lesser thing compared to You, compared to You. 'Cause everything is a lesser thing compared to You, so I surrender all!
Empty me of the selfishness inside. Every vain ambision and the poison of my pride.
Chorus: Empty me of the selfishness inside. Every vain ambision and the poison of my pride. And any foolish thing my heart holds to. Lord, empty me of me so I can be...Lord, empty me of me so I can be filled with You.
Empty me.
the chorus of this song says it all. that is going to be my new way to think in 2012.Gotta let go of self and let God be in control. its all about him anyway.
