my life in words

got a stack of books so i could learn how to live
many are left half read
covered by the cobwebs on my shelf
and i got a list of laws growing longer every day
and if i keep plugging away
maybe one day i'll perfect myself

oh but all of my labor seems to be in vain
and all of my laws just cause me more pain
so i fall before You in all of my shame
ready and willing to be changed

own me
take all that i am
and heal me
by the blood of the lamb
mold me
by Your gracious hand
break me till i'm only Yours
and own me

oh You call me daughter and you take my blame
and You run to meet me when i cry out Your name
so i fall before You in all of my shame
Lord i am willing to be changed

is this song new, or am I just totally not up on ginny? Definitely the latter I think.
