Wash Over Me <br />

CHORUS <br />
• Wash over me, cover me <br />
• I beg You to take me <br />
• And mold me into a form of You <br />
• Wash over me, cover <br />
• I beg You to take me <br />
• Come again to me and bind me to You. <br />
<br />
To keep the vow I made one precious summer night so long ago <br />
On a mountain so far away, <br />
So long forgotten and so twisted by the time that I must say <br />
I can’t recall which I had said I’d do - <br />
Live for me or die for You. <br />
<br />
CHORUS <br />
<br />
I’ve spent so long in looking back I’ve missed what’s here before me now <br />
Break the bondage of yesterday <br />
I’m full of pain I can’t release, You are my only hope today, <br />
So now I make a promise that is new <br />
Die to me and live for You. <br />
<br />
(either repeat chorus or go to bridge?) <br />
<br />
BRIDGE <br />
And still I know it’s not a choice that I can make alone <br />
It has to be Your Spirit’s work and not my own. <br />
<br />
CHORUS <br />
