Fill Me With Conviction

[Verse 1]
I’ve been laughing at the things
That used to break my heart
Scrolling past the warning signs
Like I’m standing in the dark
I don’t wince when I fall
I just shrug and move along
But Your word in my memory
Keeps humming like a song
[Chorus]
Fill me with conviction
God, I know I’m living a lie
I’m sinning every day
I don’t even cry
I don’t feel the weight
But I know, I know I should
Fill me with conviction
Turn me back from what I called “good”
Fill me with conviction
Bring me back to the ninety-nine
I’ve been running with the wolves
I’ve been crossing every line
Shepherd of my wandering heart
Leave the darkness far behind
Fill me with conviction
Bring me back to the ninety-nine
[Verse 2]
I remember being shattered
By a whisper of Your name
Now I joke about my chains
Like they’re part of some old game
I can talk about Your mercy
While I’m planning where I’ll fall
But this hollow in my chest
Says I don’t know You at all
[Chorus]
Fill me with conviction
God, I know I’m living a lie
I’m sinning every day
I don’t even cry
I don’t feel the weight
But I know, I know I should
Fill me with conviction
Turn me back from what I called “good”
Fill me with conviction
Bring me back to the ninety-nine
I’ve been running with the wolves
I’ve been crossing every line
Shepherd of my wandering heart
Leave the darkness far behind
Fill me with conviction
Bring me back to the ninety-nine
[Bridge]
Break this heart of stone (break it, Lord)
Let me hate my sin (oh)
Let Your kindness lead
All the way back in
Don’t let me be calm
While I’m walking off the edge
Put the fire in my bones
Till I’m running home again
[Chorus]
Fill me with conviction
God, I know I’m living a lie
I’m sinning every day
I don’t even cry
I don’t feel the weight
But I know, I know I should
Fill me with conviction
Turn me back from what I called “good”
Fill me with conviction
Bring me back to the ninety-nine
Call my name out in the dark
I will answer, I am Thine
Shepherd of my wandering heart
Hold me close and realign
Fill me with conviction
Bring me back to the ninety-nine
