Finally, I surrender

Would I encounter You oh God?
Would You encounter me?
I am not worthy, I am not holy, but You said “This one will be Mine!”

May I live my life before You God
May I pour out all that I have and all that I am before You
God I want to be where You are. I don’t want to leave

So here it is and here I am
God have all of me
I lay it down
I lay down my life
I lay down before you my hopes and my dreams
I lay down before you all that I hope to come true in life

Just have my life, God
Just have my life, God
Just have my life

I don’t know how to give it up
And I don’t want to
You are so good and still, I try to hold onto my life
Help me oh my God

Help me to just submit to You
Help me to lay it down
I need You
I need You
I need You
So oh God, come!

There are so many things
That I could put my focus on
There are so many things I could run to
But the essence of beauty
Is calling out for me to come
And I’ll arise

There’s a storm coming
And my heart needs an anchor
There’s a storm coming
And my heart needs God

There’s a storm on the horizon and it’s not going away
I think it’s God!

And so I come
I turn away from all else
Away from everything that would vie for my affections
Nothing can compare
Everything else pales in comparison to my God
He is the essence of beauty

This is it
And here it is
No more and never again
I turn away from everything else
God I want You!

I turn my eyes upwards
And I arise
God I will pour out my hours and my days
God I will waste my life sitting before you
What a beautiful waste

Have my heart
Have my life
Have my soul
Have my time
Have my money and resources and energy
Have my days and my months and my years
Have my future
I release my past
Here is my present
Have it all.
