I from poem Exchanging My Vice For Jesus Christ, Lyrics

I Am shame In my vice Hate the acclaim Help me Jesus Christ And take away this pain My wounds are covered in ice Sutures being applied in vain My Life came The world's game I rolled the dice A failed bloody aim The endless merchandise Craving a piece of the slice The illusion's paradise No thought of the morrow Searching for tonight's hook up Wallowing in prison's sorrow Consuming another bitter cup Refiner’s fire, blaze through my soul Melt the ice where corruption grows cold Burn the dross, let the pure fruit bear Hallowed be thy name is my prayer Through the flames, I’m bent, undone Thy will be done, thy kingdom come Scorch the vice that grips my core Make me whole forevermore Hi Act sly Crossed my heart Telling a lie Devil piercing dart Broken sweetheart Lost the chance to say good-bye Guilt amplify, intensify My boss I made cry Called the Red Cross Watched him bleed and die He was placed on the cross With two sinful men across Not discerning the reason why Seeing the agony in his eye Hate this shame Wanting the vice Take away the pain Where’s relief at what price? Refiner’s fire, blaze through my soul Melt the ice where corruption grows cold Burn the dross, let the pure fruit bear Hallowed be thy name is my prayer Through the flames, I’m bent, undone Thy will be done, thy kingdom come Scorch the vice that grips my core Make me whole forevermore Below Babel’s mountain Withering in the fast lane This unsatisfying well's fountain Striving to reach the top of the game Tired of the deceit Hoping for a new name Rundown, ruin, and defame Building the faith to cross the street Recall the crucify Needing to detoxify I can't take my sins anymore The Savior is knocking at the door I hate my vice A new battle cry Time to go testify About the fool's paradise I thank thee for your sacrifice And giving me your living bread slice The love on the cross and paying the price All hail to the Mighty Lord God Jesus Christ The love on the cross and paying the price All hail to the Mighty Lord God Jesus Christ Refiner’s fire, blaze through my soul Melt the ice where corruption grows cold Burn the dross, let the pure fruit bear Hallowed be thy name is my prayer Through the flames, I’m bent, undone Thy will be done, thy kingdom come Scorch the vice that grips my core Make me whole forevermore "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." Matthew 6:13
