A Savage Heart

You ask so much of me, Oh Lord,

I have a savage heart.
I don’t know if it can be tamed,
Or even how to start.
 
You taught me how to live my life,
When You lived here on earth,
But You were born in perfection,
While I’m savage from birth.
 
You left me with the words You spoke,
The lessons and the praise,
And I try to live as You taught,
Despite my savage ways.
 
Oh Lord, I’m not sure how we’ll do,
My savage heart and I,
Yet this one thing I promise, Lord,
For You, we’ll always try!
