"Lord help me be what You want me to be 
Being Yours is all that I want (all that I want) 
Your line is tight as a kite string 
And higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song 

I tried to do it myself but it left me stranded 
So many directions and no way to go 
The cards I was dealt made a promising hand 
But never got me into the show 
(Never got me into the show) 
But You give life to these dying songs 
Sharp as a knife to clean the marrow to the bone 

Lord help me be what You want me to be 
'Cause being Yours is all that I want (all that I want) 
Your line is tight as a kite string 
And higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song 

I looked after my luck so my soul would play the game 
But you knew the rules so much better 
The moth and the rust will eventually claim 
Everything I took as my treasure 
(Everything I took as my treasure) 
But in You I have riches this world can't corrupt 
So help me believe it and trust in Your love (Love sweet love) 

Lord help me be what You want me to be 
'Cause being Yours is all that I want (all that I want) 
Your line is tight as a kite string 
And higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song 

Oh Lord (Oh Lord) 
Oh Jesus (Oh Jesus) 
You never meant for us to go it alone 
I am so coarse (I'm so coarse) 
The world's so cheap (This world's so cheap) 
It's nothing like anyplace you'd want to call home (Home) 
Home home 

Lord help me be what You want me to be 
'Cause being Yours is all that I want 
Your line is tight as a kite string 
And higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song 

Lord help me be what You want me to be 
'Cause being Yours is all that I want (all that I want) 
Your line is tight as a kite string 
And higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song
