[Verse 1]
Oh God protect me from myself
My fearful, weary soul
It wants to hold on
When all i want is to let go
Oh God protect me from myself
My hand and wandering heart
It speeds toward the wrong
When all i want to do is start
Not to do that anymore
I don't want to do that anymore

[Chorus]
Change my heart oh God
From the sinful state it's in
To the state you want it in
I want to please you
Change my heart oh God
Oh I want to please you

[Chorus]
Change my heart oh God
From the sinful state it's in
To the state you want it in
I want to please you
Change my heart oh God
Oh I want to please you
[Verse 2]
How do i escape from sin
My old self loves to do it
What a terrible predicament
I find myself in
I find myself in sin
I want out of this sin i'm in

[Chorus]
Change my heart oh God
From the sinful state it's in
To the state you want it in
I want to please you
Change my heart oh God

[Chorus]
Change my heart oh God
From the sinful state it's in
To the state you want it in
I want to please you
Change my heart oh God
Oh I want to please you

[Verse 3]
To please Him is to know Him
To know Him is to see
That obedience to law is not
What keeps us whole and free
Is not a thing indeed
It is the body of a saviour
Jesus Christ the king
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I-I am realizing that the answer lies insight
If in fact I have accepted Jesus in my life
It all comes down, the choice is now
The issue of control
Have I chosen God
Or would I rather be the one
Controlling the destiny of the mind...Change!

[Chorus]
Change my heart oh God
From the sinful state it's in
To the state you want it in
I want to please you
Change my heart oh God
Oh I want to please you

[Chorus]
Change my heart oh God
From the sinful state it's in
To the state you want it in
I want to please you
Change my heart oh God
Oh I want to please you
[Chorus]
Change my heart oh God
From the sinful state it's in
To the state you want it in
I want to please you
Change my heart oh God
Oh I want to please you

[Outro]
Do I do what I do or don't do what I want to do?
Do I do what I do or don't do what I want to do?
