The shadows gather round again,
Like vultures in my mind.
They come to view my weaknesses,
To see what they can find.

God, I am crying out to You
For strength that I don’t feel,
To run this race, to stay the course,
To trust that You are real.

Despite my weariness in heart,
I want to cling to You.
I need to see with clearer sight
Your wisdom that is true.

Though darkness tries to hide Your face,
I know that You are Light;
And though I struggle with myself,
I want to do what’s right.

Dear Jesus, give me breakthrough; please,
Help me to do Your will.
Replace this heart of stone with flesh,
Transform, renew, distill.

Lord God of love and mercies new,
Please purify my soul.
It’s by Your blood and grace alone
That I give up control.

Holy Spirit, silence all
The voices in my mind,
So I can hear with clarity
The truth that You defined!
