Still, He Keeps on Asking

I know it's what You're asking, but it's harder than you think...
See, I've fell into this slump and all I seem to do is sink.


I'm focused on the big things, like school, the job and calling,
but You're asking me for the 'little things' ...and I just seem to keep on falling.


Falling short of what You desire, obedience in great and small,
yet for some unknown reason I feel the 'great things' should be all.


Very plainly You have shown to me, the picture of my heart
Disgusted and discouraged, I know I've failed "the part".


How can I give You what You're asking for, 
when I dont know where to start? 


I'm sorry for the way I've lived, selfishly complaining
when all You've ask me for are the things that damage greatly.


So with this prayer I bring to You, I ask You with all of me
change me Lord and have Your way, so I may please you in these things.


You alone have the power to change this heart of selfish gain.
So I do all I know and that is come to You again.
