The Crown

Create in me a clean heart

Make me more like You

Help me walk obediently

Down the path You choose

You’ve made me in Your image

Please change me day by day

I am the clay within Your hands

Do with me what you may

You encourage me to persevere

When my enemies arise

Reminding me You’re always here

Help me focus on the prize

Rid me of myself, Lord

Fill me with Your Spirit

Don’t want to walk in my own strength

For I know I’ll never make it

Faithfully You take me back

When I stray from Your will

Help me focus on the plans

You want me to fulfill

You promise me a crown of life

If I love You and endure the test

I need Your strength so I can stand

I want to give my best

I don’t want to disappoint You

Never want to let You down

Lord, I want to please You

So I’m worthy of the crown
