I've let this take ahold of me too many times
I've told this to take ahold of me every time
But I believe in you, I believe you
I just don't believe in me
I believe you, I believe in you
So set me free!
Lord, we have been here since I learned to crawl
And all those times I felt too tall
I made an image of myself, threw it on the floor, and I bowed down to myself like I had never bowed to you before
I've let you take ahold of me too few times
I've told you so many times that I want to live your life
But now I'm tired of my lies
Take me, fill me up, let your word flow through me like a river not a quickly ending cup
I believe in you, yes I believe you
Jesus Christ you are my lord
And I don't need me, and I don't need me, I don't need me
So set me free!
Lord, we have been here since I learned to crawl
Now I'm forsaking it all
Lord you are truth, how could I ever miss you
Lord you are life and without you I can't be right
But more than this I cannot even live
I want to be dead to my death and live again
Lord, we have been here since I learned to breathe
So breathe your life in me
Lord, we have been here since I learned to read
Take your precious everlasting word, light my heart so others see your path
Your light only shines forward on your path
When I take a step I leave my past
Keep me from falling on the ground
I want you God and I will resound

promising ...
Although I find the rhyme form and general lyrical-like rhythm reasonably lively, I do feel like I've been brow-beaten a tad by the narrative, so in that respect it does 'mean' something to me ....
I think that you could have expanded on some of your theological ideas maybe. The piece tends to sound prayer/song-like. Nothing wrong with that of course and there are some good ideas bubbling under the surface but it does come across as all a bit too cliche for my taste.
You have the bones of something promising here, it just needs fleshing-out somewhat.
Well done my friend
