I wrote the music to this song (I think) in the ninth grade. I remember playing it on the piano later in life with little babies playing on the floor and when Joel heard it he said, “That’s very depressing music.” I found my embarrassing journals years later here this song cropped up. I re-wrote it and so here it goes:

 

My God and King, I’m nothing on my own

I’ve lost my heart, its flesh has turned to stone

Will You take me and transform me

My wicked ways have tarnished and tainted love in me

Lord renew my mind and save me

Lord reach out Your hand and save me

 

I’m in the depths, I’m housed in miry clay

Desolate space has darkened all the day

Lord release me from bondage and heal me

Lord preserve Your child and make her whole and clean

Jesus take me as Your own

Lord Jesus take me as Your own....
