Convict Us Lord Jesus
Convict us Lord Jesus, break our heart for what breaks yours.
Open our eyes to see those around us, as you do and not as chores –
a hinderance to our way of life and the busyness each day brings,
a pothole in the road we're on, in our selfish quest for minor things.
Convict us Lord Jesus, break us of our selfish pride.
Help us see what is most precious are lost people caught in finite time –
a clock that started with the fall of man and ends with the Son's return,
that should we do nothing there are souls that are destined to burn.
Convict us Lord Jesus, break our backs with guilt and shame.
Place upon us the burdens of others that by all means some might be saved –
for salvation hangs in the balance, there isn't time to lose,
and a life well spent is a life that is lived in service to you.
