Own Me

Got a stack of books so I could learn how to live;

Many are left half-read covered by the cobwebs on my shelf.

And I got a list of laws growing longer everyday;

If I keep pluggin' away, maybe one day I'll perfect myself.

Oh, but all of my labor seems to be in vain;

And all of my laws just cause me more pain;

So I fall before you in all of my shame;

Ready and willing to be changed-

Chorus:

Own me

Take all that I am,

And heal me!

With the blood of the lamb.

Mold me with your gracious hand;

Break me till I'm only yours-

Own me!

You call me daughter,

And take my blame;

You run to meet me,

As I cry out your name,

So I fall before you in all of my shame,

Lord, I am ready to be changed
