When you walked into the room, I remember clear as day How you looked me in the eyes, And I wondered what you’d say. This world is full of hypocrites, And you knew that I was one; My heart, a judge and jury— A judge second to none.

But all the same you called my name And showed me how to live; You told me of a kingdom where Forgiven ones forgive; You said the way I measure those Would be the same for me. So grace and mercy is the rule, But oh! How can it be?!

O teacher, I am tired, I’m weary, wearing thin; Still I want to listen closely, I am ready to begin. So take this mind and body, Take every part of me— O Jesus, I am yours; Won’t you come, oh come and set me free?!

You said I must love my brother And speak the truth love— Not with my own opinions But with wisdom from above. If I’m to see the tiny speck That’s sitting in his eye, I must admit the blindness I’m so foolish to deny.

’Cause you told me there is nothing less Than lumber in my view; It leaves me in the darkness Where everything’s askew. So take away my pettiness And then I’ll clearly see, To look and care, and finally love With true humility.

Now I’m longing for a heart That produces what is good, A mouth that tells the truth And hands that do just what they should. I want to follow you, my Lord, And that without delay! Yet I’m finding just how hard it is To actually obey.

Nonetheless, I’m digging down into The earth so very deep; I’ve heard your words and now I know Your promises you keep. I’m gonna lay a firm foundation On the rock and not the sand, So when the storms come raging, This house, it will stand.

O teacher, I am tired, I’m weary, wearing thin; Still I want to listen closely, I am ready to begin. So take this mind and body, Take every part of me— O Jesus, I am yours, Won’t you come—
