Want to be more like you

I want to live just for you

How can I get to this place

When I'm broken and shattered

My life is filled with worries

Unforgiveness lies within

I'm ready to come out of this

How can I get there


So I say empty me, Lord

Take out everything not like you

Everything in my life not pleasing you

Please take it away

So I can be all yours, all yours

Empty me


Want to be more like you

I want to live just for you

How can I get to this place

When I'm broken and shattered

My life is filled with worries

Unforgiveness lies within

I'm ready to come out of this

How can I get there


So I say empty me, Lord

Take out everything not like you

Everything in my life not pleasing you

Please take it away

So I can be all yours


So I say empty me, Lord

Take out everything not like you

Everything in my life not pleasing you

Please take it away

So I can be all yours


So I say empty me, Lord

Take out everything not like you

Everything in my life not pleasing you

Please take it away

So I can be all yours, all yours


Empty me, Lord

Empty me, Lord

Empty me, Lord

Give me more of you


Empty me, Lord

Empty me, Lord

Empty me, Lord

Give me more of you


Empty me, Lord

Empty me, Lord

Empty me, Lord

Give me more of you


I want more of you Lord

I want more of you Lord

I want more of you Lord

Only you can satisfy


I want more of you Lord

I want more of you Lord

I want more of you Lord

Only you can satisfy


I want more of you Lord

I want more of you Lord

I want more of you Lord

Only you can satisfy


Only you can satisfy

Only you can satisfy

Only you can satisfy

Only you can satisfy


Only you can satisfy

Only you can satisfy

Only you can satisfy


So I say empty me, Lord

Take out everything not like you

Everything in my life not pleasing you

Please take it away

So I can be all yours, all yours


So I say empty me, Lord

Take out everything not like you

Everything in my life not pleasing you

Please take it away

So I can be all yours, all yours


So I say empty me, Lord

Take out everything not like you

Everything in my life not pleasing you

Please take it away

So I can be all yours, all yours
