The Shell (new song)

There seems to be some prolific writing going on around here lately.

The Shell

V1
I'm just a shell of the man I used to be,
wealth and pleasures and fame plenty.
All of it gone, broke and broken I stand,
just one possession, your loving hand

Chorus
Emptied of the world, all it gone,
dejected, rejected, and nothing inside
Lord take shell that once was a man
and fill it with light by your loving hand.

V2
Empty, broken what use can I be?
you loving Savior that's not what you see.
Fallen and broken by worldly loads,
I find myself lifted by the hands with holes.

Chorus
Emptied of the world, all it gone,
dejected, rejected, and nothing inside
Lord take shell that once was a man
and fill it with light by your loving hand.

Bridge
Take this shell,
in your fire renew,
make me a vessel,
in service to you,
fill it with love,
until overflow,
and never again,
this world will I know.

Chorus
Emptied of the world, all it gone,
dejected, rejected, and nothing inside
Lord take shell that once was a man
and fill it with light by your loving hand.

Hi! This has nothing to do with the post, but I just had to say this...

Here's the reason my blog clock is "an hour ahead"...

There's an hour time difference between Nebraska and Michigan. :)

Central, Eastern....
Time Zone...

It's ok.
I still like you anyway. :)
