Make Me Over
This is a song by Natalie Grant off her Awaken album (love that album!). This song continually ministers to me, challenges me, and speaks right to my heart. It may lose some effect without the music, but the words are powerful even alone. This song is a cry of my heart to the Lord......
I've been silent, instead of speaking up
Gave my advice, instead of giving love
I have been unfair, faithless and unkind
I have shut my eyes, just so I would stay blind
It's not what I'm meant to do
Cause I wanna honor You
Make me over, make me new
Make me a mirror, a reflection of You
Take me all apart, take me to Your heart
And pull me closer
Oh Jesus, make me over
Take away the pride that whispers in the dark
Take the stone out of the middle of my heart
Hidden underneath my insecurities
Is the servant that You've destined me to be
Day after precious day
I get in my own way
So make me over, make me new
Make me a mirror, a reflection of You
Take me all apart, take me to Your heart
And pull me closer
Sweet Savior, make me over
I am only made of Your imagining
I'm dust and clay on the wind
Wash me in the river of Your sacrifice
Until I'm changed, purified
Take me all apart, take me to Your heart
And pull me closer
My Jesus, make me over
Make me over
Make me over
Oh, make me over, Jesus

I love it! Awesome song. I have never heard it. Thanks!
Did you find your CD or just buy a new one? Yes she is really good! My fav's on that CD are Held and Awaken. She has a unique voice. I do like the song she sings with Wynonna too!

Yes, I found the CD! WooHoo! It was under the seat in John's car. I too, love the song "Awaken"...that is another one that really challenges and inspires me. "Held" is a little too sad for me, I heard the full story behind it recently and haven't been able to listen to it since. But, it is a beautiful song! :)
Those are beautiful words, and such a good reminder...
That's a great song.
