Emptied Out



Lord, I empty myself. I forget myself, and remember you.

Empty me out, Lord
So I can be filled with your truth.
I'm longing for purity.
Burn it all away.
Turn me upside down
Inside out
Shake me up and down
And out.
Let me be emptied out
Of all that I am
So only you remain.
What is good and what
Is true and what is real.
Only goodness remains 
When all is said and done.
Only you remain.
When all else is stripped away
Only the truth remains.
Let me be filled with your
Fullness alone, God.
That I may know 
What is the depth and
The height and the width 
And the length
Of your great love.
My first love,
Til only you remain.
