Hollow branch

Brought down by my selfishness
Can't let go of my own desires
Mainframe of self-pity
Can't even stop complaining to myself
I'm falling apart Bring change to my heart
From the inside out
Realign my focus
I am hollow without you
Weeds of my path choke you out
Cares of this life only bring me doubt
My efforts fail without you
Oh God, fill my heart, remove dry rot
If I remain in You,
You will remain in me
And through your words,
I can reach into your presence
Teach me how to think, show me how to be
How to overcome all of the darkness
Bring Your word to life, deep inside my mind
Fill in this void with the water that gives everlasting life Let Your Spirit flow through revive, renew, restore my brittle soul
