lyrics
Oh Lord, transform my heart.
May it be broken by the things that break Your own.
Oh God, Let freedom hold,
hold me closer than I’ve ever been before.
Messiah, let comfort flow from the hands of the ones
You’ve called your own.
Holy God pure light,
we are creatures who need your words to guide.
Holy Adonai,
send your spirit Lord to chasten, and draw us nigh.
Bring freedom here.
Love draws us near.
Oh Lord, confine my heart.
Chasen me often, because my eyes are
drawn away by simple things.
Teach me to learn, render me open
to be humbled by correction that You give.
Hold me down tonight,
cause I can’t seem to choose what is right.
Hold me close to you,
cause my terribly afraid of what I’ll do.
Redemption’s near.
Repentance clear.
Holy God pure light,
we are creatures who need your words to guide.
Holy Adonai,
send your spirit Lord to chasten, and draw us nigh.
Bring freedom here.
Love draws us near.

about
Preson Phillips Tampa, Florida
Tampa Florida’s Preson Phillips has been called “a refreshing change from mainstream worship music [who’s] songs recall the
wide-eyed fervor of the early 70s Jesus music artists” ~itunes review.
With an americana influenced sound ranging from folk to alt/country, newcomers should expect a real, almost personal, connection with the emotions and ancient spirituality of the music of Preson Phillips.
