Empty me

Empty me of me, oh empty me
Oh my Lord, take pity, take heed
to this my plea -
Empty me of myself (of my carnal destiny)
of all I desire
that comes from Hell,
Of putting myself
before You and others,
of making pleasures my lovers

Oh empty me, empty me
May i decrease
that my eyes may see
You in all Your glory
and beauty.
I seek to glorify You -
it's You I'm honoring
for i am undeserving.
May You be exalted on high in my heart,
empty of all that keeps us apart,
empty me, please empty me........
