Laying down my own understanding
Letting go of my own thoughts
Valuing my own ways less
Finding out your ways are best
When resentment's in my heart
When pride arises up in me
When I find I'm judging brothers
The log in my eye bludgeons others
My thoughts become like hot potatoes
What's picked up is quickly downed
I'd rather think your thoughts instead
Let your mind fill up my head
I'm clinging no more to the old man
I lay aside what isn't fitting
Cos I know now Im a new creation
Im stepping forward with quiet elation
Oh Lord empty out my hands
And purify and clean my heart
I lay myself aside again
and lay myself aside again
Letting go of my own thoughts
Valuing my own ways less
Finding out your ways are best
When resentment's in my heart
When pride arises up in me
When I find I'm judging brothers
The log in my eye bludgeons others
My thoughts become like hot potatoes
What's picked up is quickly downed
I'd rather think your thoughts instead
Let your mind fill up my head
I'm clinging no more to the old man
I lay aside what isn't fitting
Cos I know now Im a new creation
Im stepping forward with quiet elation
Oh Lord empty out my hands
And purify and clean my heart
I lay myself aside again
and lay myself aside again
