Sold out

Sold out.
I want to be
Sold out.
Fully.
Without compromise
With roaring flesh
And its attempts
To swallow me
And to devour.

I want,
I want to be sold out -
Sold out fully,
To the core,
That nothing would be left no more
For me or anyone...
For You -
For You alone I long.
I want to long.
I try to long
And feel at times
That I'm alone.

Transform our minds
Help us long
For You like noone,
Like nothing in the world.

Help long for you
Help us adore,
Adore You to the very core
Of our hearts.

Without You our little lives
Would be in vain,
Just wasted in the hurricane
Of worldly passions, sins and strives
I do not want that kind of life.

Redeem, refresh, renew, upgrade,
Transform us and transfigurate.
Light up, warm up and colorize
So we would fully realize
Your beauty, how creation's lush
In contrast to the worldly crush
On things we see and we adore.
No vanity I want. No more!
Redeem our minds, resurrect
Your beauty in us. Your impact
On us may be regained, refilled,
Refueled, restrengthened and revealed.

No stale life.
No compromise
With roaring flesh,
With sinful lies.

No more of treaty
With the world.
Attack, advance
And wait no more!

My Jesus fights.
He leads ahead.
My life is simply
In His hand.

I cannot waste
A bit of time
For worldly passions,
Worldly chimes.

My time is running
Too, too fast.
I can't afford
My flesh to last.

No more, no longer!
Any time
My Saviour can
Come back and shine!

Come, Jesus! Come!
We wait for You.
We struggle, fight,
While You renew

Renew us in the core
So much!
I long for you,
Your pleasant touch,

Your revelation,
And your word.
I long. I want to long.
I want!...
