Mortification

Crucify my flesh
This is mortification
A rejection of the filth that I once loved
This is purification
Holy Spirit give me strength to sin no more
Lord, let my words be your words
Let my thoughts be your thoughts
In those years of darkness
I grew to love the things that you despise
I watched myself become
Everything I hated when I was young
Take everything
My lustful eyes, my prideful heart
Lord wash me clean
Infuse me with Your grace
I feel so weak
The weight of the guilt brings me to my knees
My King, My God
May I never again bring you shame
I offer up my suffering
To the one who paid the ultimate price
My sinful flesh wages war against my spirit
Increase my faith
I offer up my suffering
In the presence of the angels and saints
May I be a living sacrifice
Thy will be done
Crucify my flesh
This is mortification
A rejection of the filth that I once loved
This is purification
Holy Spirit give me grace to sin no more
This is mortification
A subjugation of my will to Yours, O Lord
This is sanctification
Son of God, give me grace
Thy will be done!
