The Great Exchange

You are the everlasting One
The One who lifts me up on wings
Eagles cannot catch me
The wind cannot overtake me
Strength rises now
Resolved to love the Heavenly One

Waiting now
Even on the One who reigns forever
Here is my hope
Here is my deliverer
Here is my God who fights for me
Death, where is your sting?
Grave, where is your victory?
My God is for me
I am not afraid

Hallelujah, again and again
Our God reigns
Let fierce devotion come forth
To take up the charge
No longer with trepidation
Thrusting forward, always forward
In power and might
With firm resolve, strong conviction
And a jaw set like flint
This mission of heart has a sole purpose
Charging upwards, taking ground
Always further in

Wonderful One
You are at the center of my heart
You have taken up Your rightful place
The center of my heart was made for You
And now You have it all
Oh plumb line of eternity
And anchor of time

Call out now
Oh ends of the earth
Oh depths of the sea
Oh heights of Heaven
Throughout all ages
Let your voice ring
For Grace and glory is here

Now with
Determined allegiance
Focused gaze
Concerted effort
Steady progress

For You look on the inside
Keeping us in perfect time
You will perfect that which concerns Your sons and daughters
For by Your discretion, men are made great
And now…
Heaven is watching us today
We have their full attention
The mighty host cheers us on

Even when it’s You and me alone
God this is what I want
You hedge me in behind and before
You set me in the secret place
You reserve me for Yourself
This heart wanting nothing else
Save the Holy One

You are all around me
I am like an enclosed and secret garden
Hidden away, kept away, quiet
For I still know that
Apart from You I can do nothing
And apart from the Most High, I am lost
I would be a wanderer on the earth
I would be utterly visionless
But You

Today I am no longer my own
In the morning and in the evening
I recite my composition to the King
I am not my own
I have been commissioned to another
With a band around my arm
And a name written on my forehead
Saying simply, the Lords
Belonging to the Most High

Here is the place I go to
In this place I never want to leave
Here is how I spend hours
And the time has no end

So now Oh god
Let the light of Your Face shine down on me
I want to feel it; I want to know Your Presence
Would You take this heart?
Will you please refine it to make it Yours?
I just want You
I want a holy heart
I want whatever it takes to be with You

And so today is the day
Today is the great exchange
My life for Yours
My heart for Yours
My desire for Yours
All I am… Yours
