I have prayed for deliverance
From the trouble in my life
I've asked the Lord to bless me
And keep my pathway bright
But the greatest prayer
That I could ever pray
Is for holiness
Oh, it's not the easy way to say
Break my heart
Till it longs for none but Thee
Till Your Spirit flows through me
Break my heart
Let Your will be done, not mine
Rid my soul of compromise
Say "I love you!" once again
And break my heart
Through Your gentle chastening
I know that I am loved
For everything that comes to me
First comes through You above
Oh, the testing of my faith
Is like precious gold
For through the fire
You refine my soul, so, Lord
