G.5 Accept Me, My Lord

Chorus:
Accept me, my Lord, accept me
for this while,
Accept me, my Lord.

Let those orphaned days that passed
Without Thee, be forgotten.

Only spread this little moment wide across thy lap,
Holding it under thy light.

I have wandered in pursuit of voices
That drew me, yet led me nowhere.

Now let me sit in peace and listen to thy words
In the soul of my silence.

Do not turn away thy face
From my heart’s dark secrets,
But burn them till they are alight with thy fire.
