Turn Me Into You
Charles Edward York 1966 (Saigon, Vietnam)
Turn Me Into You
Searching for direction
For changes to help me out
Life feels like falling apart
Sewing seeds of doubt
Trying to face each day
Composed but it’s no use
When everything is going wrong
I have everything to lose.
When there’s no hope tomorrow
There is no power today
So I face up with tears
Towards You to show the way
I surrender all I am
The stuff I’m going through
I ask with all my heart
Please turn me into You.
You are the universe of good
The boundless abundant grace
In You I have everything
I need the world to face
When all of me is open
So You can live through me
There’s power to succeed
Overcome and set me free!
Change me as You see fit
Transform my spirit inside
Make my actions imitate You
And let love be my guide
Help me empathize with those
In need of ones who care
Turn me into You I pray
An example You are there.
