Blood through my Veins

have I started too late for the blood to rush through my veins
reviving me, and washing away all these stains, all of my stains
would you reach out and touch me even now
removing this pain, God would you teach me how
oh, how to love you, I want to love you
why is this something I can never do
could you teach me how to give myself awayyyyy?
Oh my selfishness, is holding on, it would stay
and you, only you, can drive that away
Be gone, it's all you must say
but can you teach me how to let go?
How can it leave when I'm saying no
I'm screaming for myself
it's burning like fires of hell
why is the refining fire so hot
in my mind I'd rather this was not
but in you I can have the strength to say: consume me
until smoking flesh, and scalding spirit is all I can see
O Lord consume me, am I inviting pain?
So I am consumed by you, only your name
frighten all fear to flee from my mind
so true love in you I will finally find
