Metanoia from Metanoia by Matt Dean

Jesus, unspeakable sweetness,
Turn these earthly consolations
Into bitterness for me!
Jesus, unspeakable sweetness,
Turn my heart from the riches of this world
What I sow in tears, I’ll reap in joy!

Bend my heart to Your will;
Let the truth of Your Love burn within me!
Let the truth of Your Love burn within me!

Come that I might adore thee!
Come, light all consuming!
Oh Light serene of God the Father’s glory,
Shine on me, so I can see
The ways You love me,
The ways You love me

Late have I loved You;
beauty so ancient, so new!
Banished my blindness, lavished your fragrance
I tasted You. Now I hunger and thirst
for you…

Bend my heart to Your will;
Let the truth of Your Love burn within me!

Sleeper awake, arise from the dead
and Christ will shine on you!

My heart is restless till it rests in You
My heart is restless till it rests in You
My heart is restless till it rests in You
Rests in You!

You’re here that I might adore thee!
You’re here, light all consuming!
Oh light serene…
Oh light serene…
Oh light serene…
Oh light serene of God the Father’s glory,
Shine on me, so I can see
The ways You love me…
