I Need

I had my pride
I had my prayers
I had my good intentions
Thought I was strong and in control
Thought I was self-sufficient
In my delusion I thought I had everything
My narrow mind made me blind
And You had to let me fall
To finally make me see

I need Your light, lead me
I need Your word, feed me
I need to know what I need
Show me my emptiness
So You can fill it with
Everything You want for me
It took so long for me to realize
I need

You saw right through
These paper walls
That I had built around me
Your holy fire burned them down
And now Your love surrounds me
In the ashes I can clearly see the proof
My own strength is my own weakness
Lord, I surrender
Because I'm helpless without You
