Renew Me

time and again God uses the power of music to change my life. this song is God's most effective "Aileen-changing" tool of late. it's by Avalon, my all-time favorite singing group. the song appears in their new album, "The Creed".

why am i such a dusty window
for Your light to shine through?
why am i just a tiny star
in a sky already blue?
why do i offer everything
with my heart closed like a fist?
i want to love You better than this...
why do i live like i'm in chains
when You have set me free?
and why do i have to break Your heart

before i fall to my knees?
i know it's time to pray for change,
give all i have to give;
i want to love You better than this...

so renew me
remake me
undo me
unbreak me
come into the empty spaces of my broken places
and consume me
complete me
pursue me
redeem me
let your Holy Spirit living through me

renew me...

i need Your power to renew me, Lord
i need to know You're moving through me, Lord
i need you as my refuge
my first and last resort
be the river always running through my deepest thoughts
keep me in Your arms
'cause even when i drift
i want to love you better than this...

so renew me

remake me

undo me

unbreak me

come into the empty spaces of my broken places

and consume me

complete me

pursue me

redeem me

let your Holy Spirit living through me renew me...

my life, bend it to Your will

seeking You until i'm more and more like You

so renew me...
