You Make the Willing Free

This is one of my poor attempts at songwriting. :-)

Once we walked in darkness
Our lives controlled by sin;
We lived our lives as rebels.
We had no light within.
You were not in our thoughts;
We gave You not Your place.
Unable and unwilling
We did not seek Your face.

chorus:
Only Your great power
Could draw us unto Thee.
You make the rebel willing;
You make the willing free.

You called us out of darkness.
You set us free from sin,
And those who once were rebels
Now have Your light within.
Captivate our very thoughts
And claim Your rightful place.
Make us ever willing
To come and seek Your face

bridge:
Cause us to remember, Lord
Your loving, sovereign power.
Strengthen us to seek Your glory
Every single hour.
