Natalie Grant-AWAKEN

Natalie Grant is one of my favorite singers. I have almost every CD of hers. The CD called Awaken had never been one that I was too crazy about. For whatever reason, about 3 weeks ago I pulled out the CD and it is amazing. God has been speaking to me through so many of these songs. I'm posting the lyrics to a song off that album called 'MAKE ME OVER'. The words have truly become a prayer for me.

MAKE ME OVER
I've been silent instead of speaking up
Gave my advice instead of giving love
I have been unfair, faithless and unkind
I have shut my eyes just so i would stay blind
It's not what i meant to do
Cause i wanna honor you

CHORUS
Make me over, make me new
Make me a mirror, a reflection of you
Take me all apart
Take me to your heart and pull me closer
Oh, Jesus, make me over

Take away the pride that whispers in the dark
Take the stone out of the middle of my heart
Hidden underneath my insecurities
Is the servant that you've destined me to be
But day after precious day
I get in my own way

Make me over, make me new
Make me a mirror, a reflection of you
Take me all apart
Take me to your heart and pull me closer
Sweet savior, make me over

I am only made of your imagining
I'm dust and clay on the wind
Wash me in the river of your sacrifice
Until i'm changed, purified
Take me all apart
Take me to your heart and pull me closer
My Jesus, make me over
Make me over
