Allen Thomas - Contrite Spirit Lyrics

God has been my strength & lifter of my head
You see, shame had me counting cracks
in the concrete
Instead of peace, brought division
It was just like He said
In the midst of this death
The risen from dead
Has forgiven my debt, yeah
Give me a right Spirit
A contrite spirit in me, yeah
So I can fight spirits
With Christ’s Spirit indeed
In sacrifice You won’t delight
But it’s Your blood that wash me white
Yeah, restore to me
Oh Lord I need
How can I approach Your throne
With all this guilt on my hand?
Stained from the lust
That once filled up this man
I lift’em up high in surrender
Just hoping You notice, uh
Please Forgive me for all the years I lost focus
When I first learned to pray it was only for me
Burned, hurt & then turned away
I was lonely and weak
Now the words changed that I bring
As a servant I sing, Holy Holy Holy is He
There’s no other King with such a Name given
He can save from the flame
that awaits the wicked
You came & rescued though I ain’t nothing special
I can’t lie I was lusting from functions with the devil
But the more exposure brought me to Light
Through Your Word it’s been confirmed
I been bought with a price
Sleepless nights I toss & turned
You taught me bout life
Wouldn’t listen though I heard
It was obvious pride
Give me a right Spirit
A contrite spirit in me, yeah
So I can fight spirits
With Christ’s Spirit indeed
In sacrifice You won’t delight
But it’s Your blood that wash me white
Yeah, restore to me
Oh Lord I need
Found out when I was down and out
No love in my heart
There’s a fee for every deed
That’s done in the dark
Hit my knees in desperate need crying out
Give ear to these desperate pleas
Cuz without You God I am lost
Found out when I was down and out
No love in my heart
There’s a fee for every deed
That’s done in the dark
Hit my knees in desperate need crying out
Give ear to these desperate pleas
Cuz without You I am lost
Give me a right Spirit
A contrite spirit in me, yeah
So I can fight spirits
With Christ’s Spirit indeed
In sacrifice You won’t delight
But it’s Your blood that wash me white
Yeah, restore to me
Oh Lord I need

God has been my strength & lifter of my head
