It doesn't happen overnight,
     This conformation to God's will.
It's a slow and lengthy process
     And is happening in me still.

I tried, but it was useless,
     Any effort on my part.
It just happened as the Spirit
     Started working in my heart.

So many things that I believed
     I couldn't live without
Are gone now, from my consciousness
     And are never thought about.

Yet it was quite impossible
     When on my own I tried,
For every effort was a failure
     Leaving me dissatisfied.

There still are lots of things to change
     Before I will be right,
But the Spirit is still working
     Every day and through each night.

He'll take all my desires
     For the things that shouldn't be,
And all the sin within my heart
     To make a better me.
