Ginny Owens - Own Me

Got a stack of books, so I could learn how to live;
many are left half-read, covered by the cobwebs on my shelf.
And I got a list of laws, growing longer everyday;
if I keep pluggin' away, maybe one day I'll perfect myself.

Oh, but all of my labor, seems to be in vain.
And all of my laws, just cause me more pain.
So I fall before You, in all of my shame,
ready and willing to be changed.

Own me,
take all that I am.
And heal me,
with the blood of the lamb.
Mold me,
with your gracious hand, break me till I'm only Yours.
Own me.

Oh, you call me precious, and you take my blame.
And you run to meet me, when I cry out your name.
So I fall before You, in all of my shame.
Lord, I am willing to be changed.

Own me,
take all that I am.
And heal me,
with the blood of the Lamb.
Mold me,
with Your gracious hand, break me till I'm only yours.
Own me.
