Break Me Down

Josephine Mary Schmidt

Break Me Down

You came to them
But Thomas didn’t want to believe them
He didn’t know what to think
So, You brought Your risen self again to them

You breathed Your Spirit onto them
And told them, “Blessed is he who believes without seeing.”
Oh, Lord, that’s me!

And every corner of my life
I want You to Master
And every thought and every word
I want You to capture, capture me

Tell me how to be strong when I’m weak
Hold me, hold me, when I struggle
The compromise; it comes sweet
The compromise; it comes easy, to take me

But You know the way
Light my way, making our way to the heart of You, Jesus
And You know my heart and what’s missing
I ask You to break me, break me, break me
Break me down
Don’t let me win
Discipline me now

You come to me when I seek
Speaking truth and asking me to trust in You
Not in the wisdom of mankind
But be transformed by the renewing of my mind

Don’t be conformed to this world
Put my faith, put my faith, in You
Put my life and all I do
In the power of You, God

And You know the way
Light my way, making our way to the heart of You, Jesus
And You know my heart and what’s missing
I ask You to break me, break me, break me
Break me down
Don’t let me win
Discipline me now

Cause You are my life
Show me what’s right
Breathe Your Spirit onto me
Oh, let it stay upon me
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me die from Your side

Cause You know the way
Light my way, making our way to the heart of You, Jesus
Don’t let me win
Discipline me now

Making our way to the heart of the You, Jesus
To the heart of You, Jesus
To the heart of You, Jesus
