~ Empty Me ~
~ Lyrics ~
I've had just enough of the spotlight, when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood
And I've tasted my share of the sweet life
And the wild ride and found a little is not quite enough
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change
Empty me, of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me, so i can be Filled with you
Ive seen just enough of the quick buys, of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be Filled with you
Cuz everything is a lesser thing
Compared to you
Compared to you
Cuz everything is a lesser thing
Compared to you
So I surrender all
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be
Lord empty me of me so I can be
Filled with you
Ohhhhhhhh
Filled with you
Empty me

Do ya ever sit and wonder what writers are facing when the things He shares through them come to be?
Chris once shared in an interview that he wrote this song based on his daily prayer to God. Cool huh?
Your Turn!
Luv ya
