Rearrange

I've searched my heart
From many angles,
My analysis
Just strangles.
Not one view
Has helped me see
What Your eyes know
Already...
The depths of me.
Naked. Bare...
Of every secret thing,
Aware...
And yet,
Your stare
Does not undo me...
Instead,
You woo me
To desires deep,
To abandon all.
Unashamed,
To knees I fall!
I let Your gaze
Transform. Amaze!
Remove the haze.
Reveal Your ways.
Rearrange
My heart,
My days.
Enter in
To every room
With wind,
And broom.
Sweep away
The cluttered space.
Fill anew
The barren place
With You...
Rearrange
My brokenness.
From ashes raise
Garments of praise!
From mourning,
A spirit rejoicing!
Rearrange
From heaviness,
A heart furnished
With thankfulness!
Rearrange
The depths of me...
Cleanse every prideful
Snare You see.
In every dark
And hidden place
Shine Your face!
Pour Your grace!
Rearrange
My thinking room.
Make my thoughts, Yours,
Your mind, my home.
My every thought
A captive make,
To obey,
For Jesus' sake!
Rearrange
My heart's affections.
Cast away
These vain attentions
Stealing all the strength in me.
Loose me from their tyranny!
Rearrange
My yielded heart.
Resurrect
In every part
All Your life,
Alive in me!
Jesus, come
And set me free!
