Own Me (Letra)
Words and music by ginny owens: bmg songs, inc. (gospel
Division)/above the rim music (administered by bmg songs, inc.) (ascap)
Got a stack of books so i could learn how to live;
Many are left half-read covered by the cobwebs on my shelf.
And i got a list of laws growing longer everyday;
If i keep pluggin’ away, maybe one day i’ll perfect myself.
Oh, but all of my labor seems to be in vain;
And all of my laws just cause me more pain;
So i fall before you in all of my shame;
Ready and willing to be changed-
Chorus:
Own me
Take all that i am,
And heal me!
With the blood of the lamb.
Mold me with your gracious hand;
Break me till i’m only yours-
Own me!
You call me daughter,
And take my blame;
You run to meet me,
As i cry out your name,
So i fall before you in all of my shame,
Lord, i am ready to be changed
