Lord of this creation, high above it all
Try as I might, I cannot climb to You
Victor over darkness, bright and sacred One
Try as I might, I cannot hide from You
Every thought inside my head
Every temptation that I've met
No nothing, nothing surprises You
Sanctify me, purify me
Here's my heart and all that I am Lord
Take the old me, make me holy
And whatever You do
Don't just make me better
Lord make me new
Don't just make me better
Lord make me new
King and righteous Ruler, Seerer of my heart
Try as I might I cannot lie to You
Gracious loving Father, Shepherd of my soul
When I return, You always welcome me back home
Every thought inside my head
Every temptation that I've met
No nothing, nothing surprises You
(Lord will you)
Sanctify me, purify me
Here's my heart and all that I am Lord
Take the old me, make me holy
And whatever You do
Don't just make me better
Lord make me new
Don't just make me better
Lord make me new
I repent, I repent
I fall on my knees again
I repent, I repent
I fall on my knees again
I repent, I repent
I fall on my knees again
I repent, I repent
I fall on my knees again
Break every vain desire, selfish ambition
Pride of life and need for attention
Clean my hands and bring Your deliverance
Lord make me new
Break every vain desire, selfish ambition
Pride of life and need for attention
Clean my hands and bring Your deliverance
Lord make me new
Lord make me new
Sanctify me, purify me
Here's my heart and all that I am Lord
Take the old me, make me holy
And whatever You do
Don't just make me better
Lord make me new
Don't just make me better
Lord make me new
