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
