Renew A Right Spirit In Me
Renew a right spirit in me O Lord
Give me the strength to overcome my weaknesses
That same girl that used to urk my nerves and disgust me will now become
     that girl that brightens up my day
Help me see the good in everyone despite their wrongdoings.
Let me see them throgh Your eyes, maybe then I will recognize
   why You lovethem so and in turn I will be able to appreciate their presence.

Renew a right spirit in me O Lord
That the things that people said or did to hurt my feelings would no longer
     hinder me to do Your will but it will be the catlyst that pushes me to
     see you more and more

Renew a right spirit in me O Lord
That the things that I found pleasure in that I knew werenot of you
    be purged out of me to the point that the desire is replaced with mere disgust
I am certain that the devil will try to bring it my way to tempt me;
However, through You, I now have the boldness to laugh in his face and
    move on with the reassurance that I have passed the test.

Renew a right spirit in me O Lord
When the right time comes and send me Mr. Right
I have the strength to be that Proverbs 31 woman that You called me to be.
Discipline me O God, that I may be able to listen to my husband because
    he is the head of the household not I.
Teach me O God to compromise so that not only am I getting what I want but
    my husband is happy as well.
Our relationship will be like no other because You are in the midst.

Renew a right spirit in me O Lord
Make me whole.
