Take this man

Title: “Take This Man”

Verse 1

God, I’m yelling through the dark again,

Hands shaking, blood on who I’ve been.

I’ve lied, I’ve stole, I’ve hurt, I’ve ran,

Did things I swore I never would, man.

The mirror don’t recognize my face,

Just a haunted soul in a borrowed space.

I know I crossed too many lines,

Still I’m begging You—please hear this cry.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t wanna be this man no more,

I’m tired of sleeping with the devil at my door.

I’m tired of the chains, tired of the lies,

Tired of looking at love through deadened eyes.

Chorus (Scream it)

God, help me change—

Rip the poison out my veins!

Lift the fog, break these chains,

I don’t wanna live this way!

Take my lust, take these drugs,

Take this violence I call love!

Take this criminal heart in my chest

And turn it into something that serves the rest!

Verse 2

I chased desire till it owned my soul,

Every hit, every fix took another toll.

I called it freedom, but it was a cage,

Just another cell I built in rage.

I hurt the ones who believed in me,

Burned every bridge I was meant to keep.

Now I’m standing here with nothing left,

Just a broken breath and a final request.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t wanna be the cause of pain,

Don’t wanna keep pouring sorrow like rain.

I don’t wanna run, don’t wanna hide,

I just wanna live right—if You’ll be my guide.

Chorus (Bigger, desperate)

God, help me change—

Rip the poison out my veins!

Lift the fog, break these chains,

I don’t wanna live this way!

Take my lust, take these drugs,

Take this violence I call love!

Take this criminal heart in my chest

And turn it into something that serves the rest!

Bridge (Quiet → Build)

If You can use the broken, use me,

If You still forgive, then free me.

I don’t need comfort—I need truth,

I don’t need strength—I need You.

Put Your eyes inside my sight,

Teach my hands how to do what’s right.

Make my past a testimony,

Make my pain serve Your glory.

Break (Spoken / Half-sung)

I’m done fighting You.

I’m done fighting me.

I don’t wanna survive anymore—

I wanna be clean.

Final Chorus (Full surrender)

God, help me change—

Breathe new life into my name!

Clear my mind, heal my brain,

Teach my soul a better way!

Take my lust, take these drugs,

Take this hate I called my blood!

Take this criminal heart in my chest

And turn it into a heart of service, God—

Yeah, turn it into a heart of service.

Outro

I’m not who I was,

I’m who You’re making me.

Here I am, God…

Take this man.
