Holy Spirit, Captivate My Soul

My heart's true condition,

utterly wretched... greedy.

My heart selfishly feels,

ponders "me'.

My mind's first thought,

perpetually "me".

I despise my own "meism".

Deep down I know it exists.

Lord, my heart's true desire,

is to unceasingly seek your will.

I want to think and feel,

exclusively, you... only you.

Devour my self-centered focus.

Stimulate selflessness into my being.

Holy Spirit, captivate my soul.
Minister to my emptiness.

Articulate into my being,

God's purpose for my life.

My heart's inclination,

To remain me-centered.

My true desire,
To become God-centered.

Lord, all I am... all I have,
Daily I surrender.

Come overtake my spirit,
Invade my soul.

Make every thought,
Mimic the mind of Christ.
