How I long to feel Your presence and it seems like I'm so far,
I've been stumblin' in the darkness just wonderin' where You are.
I feel the beams of my own burden - they crush my soul in dark despair.
And it's hard to cry out "Help me!" when I'm gasping out for air.
My sinfulness before me - my good intentions, they just won't do,
so I'm gonna drop these walls around my heart and give myself to You.
Can You hear this prayer that I longingly request?
Change my heart oh God, let me from these evil ways rest.

Chorus (1)
I know You wouldn't leave me - it's not in You to forsake,
but you always do the givin', and I always got to take.
Guess I'd like to love You like You've loved me from the start,
but Jesus, You and I both know
that kind of love, it's just not in my heart.
But could You put it there? Would You put it there?
Could You put it there? Would You put it there in my heart?

Tear down my golden idols - this carnal nature's just the crust
of this heart of fear and hatred ruled by loneliness and lust.
Rebuild in this dark temple Your everlasting throne,
to be honored and adored by everything I am and own.

Chorus (2)
I know You wouldn't leave me - it's not in You to forsake,
but Lord you always do the givin', and I always got to take.
Jesus You know I'd like to love You like You've loved me from the start,
but Jesus, You and I both know
that kind of love, it's just not in my heart.
But could You put it there? Would You put it there?
Could You put it there?  Would You put it there in my heart?
