Shred it, Destroy it, Burn it, Kill it

Tear it apart, to build it back up again.
Shred it, destroy it, burn it, kill it.
Who knew a little crack in the wall,
Could be the result of a serious flaw.
Something was wrong from the start,
It went down all the way to my heart.
Buried so deep, I'm the master of disguise.
I'm dumb as a sheep, because I gave into the lies.
All God has to do is lay His little pinky
And though it may be a little stinky,
All the junk comes oozing out.
But nothing in me is allowed to pout,
After all, I couldn't stand it,
So I asked Him to shred it, destroy it, burn it, kill it.
Shred it with Your Mighty hand.
Destroy it by Your Sovereign power.
Burn it in Your Holy fire.
Kill it with Your gentle Spirit.
So why should I be surprised
When my weaknesses begin to arise,
They rise to the surface,
 Moving towards the furnace.
I try to let go, but I want to hang on,
I've gotten comfortable with the pain,
Don't want to live without the stain,
Without them the difference would be stark.
They've truly become my trademark.
He gives me a look, like that of a parent.
And all of the sudden my sin becomes apparent.
I won't live in shame, or fear, or regret.
But I'll keep on asking it:
Shred it, destroy it, burn it, kill it. 
Tear it up, to build it back up again.
