  Heads or Tails?

  The dream ends

  An alarm sounds

  The sweat drips

  And the heart pounds

   

  The quarter spins

  And flies on high

  Two face grins

  Will you live or die

   

  But it’s not chance

  That roils the mind

  Or brings oppression

  That clouds the mind

   

  The hand it reaches

  A light turns on

  The coin has landed

  Right or wrong

  Conquer my heart again
  Conquer my heart again
  Let my eyes be for only Him
  The price was paid I no longer belong
  To the world but to the Lamb and my God

  It’s more than emotion feeling or grit
  More than devotion or cold bitter grist
  It’s an indwelling where two work as one
  Where the Spirit woos heart
  And the penitent comes

  Some hearts grow cold hard and defiant
  Some children get lost- and are not reliant
  Some eyes wander and cause a betrayal.
  Apostates cause untold travail-
  But You still lifted the veil

  Conquer my heart again
  Let my eyes be for only Him
  The price was paid I no longer belong
  To the world but to the Lamb and my God

  You changed creatures into the new
  Created again like mornings wet dew
  Built a house out of ashes and dust
  Threw down the morning star
  And set Love on us

  Conquer my heart again
