Sanctify me, Adonai
Choose me in Your name
I’m hungry for Your holiness
Greedy for Your grace
Crazy lust a sacrifice
Raise me, raise me up
I’m Your offering of spice
Porous with Your praise
Pillar of mist
Pillar of fire
Walk me out of wandering
In this bitter hour
Be my lover, Adonai
Now the time has come
I’m desperate for forgiveness
Clawing toward Your home
Never been so hungry
Never been so full
Consecrate me, Holy One
Turn me to Your will
Name me new, Adonai
Speak me into being
Let Your firmament of stars
Be my sheltering wing
Pillar of mist
Pillar of fire
Walk me out of wandering
In this saving hour
Restoration
