Set Me Free

O Lord, set me free,
Free from  the  inglorious.
Free from the inconsequential.
Free from inconsistent.

Free from selfishness.
Free from self-assurance.
Free from self-centeredness.

Set me free from all that distracts,
Set me free from all that detracts,
Set me free from all that defeats.

Set me free to be an encourager,
Set me free to be a promoter,
Set me free to be a motivator.


Set me free for your purpose.
Set me free to follow your passions.
Set me free, your life to practice .


Set me free to sacrifice for you.
Set me free to suffer for you.
Set me free to be sustained by you.

Set me free to walk in you way.
Set me free to grow in your word.
Set me free to live in worship.

buried alive



Lord I have been buried alive,
Selfishness, self-doubt, self-pity
Self-absorption, and self-centeredness
Have buried me alive.
I am dead.

But You are my resurrection.
You are my Life.
Breath into me you breath.
And I will live.

Selflessness because you are my provision.
Self-assurance because you are my strength.
Others centered because you care for me.

You are the drink to quench my thirst
You are the food to feed my soul.

I live.
