My Life is Your's, Lord

My Life is Your's, Lord

Every dream, plan, wish, I myself deny.

I will follow You til the day I die.

Never turning aside to focus on another

We will have sweet communion with each other.

I only want You in my daily meditation,

Nothing earthly to distract me from Your sweet consolation.

All I have or ever will have, I lay at Your feet.

With You as my guide, I will see no defeat.

Everything You’ve given me, I hand right back,

Because I am sure to mess things up and I’m even surer to slack.

My life is Thine, come sorrow, agony and pain.

For from this world I have nothing to gain.

I’ll take up my cross and follow Thee.

From worldly pleasure I will utterly flee.

I give up my life to follow You and You alone,

And I’ll see Your face when I enter my Heavenly home.

You created me to bring glory to You,

So this I will humbly do.

I’ll forsake this world and all its pleasures

And seek rather heavenly treasures.

Though I may never marry,

Though many burdens I may have to carry,

Though I may lose my family and friend

I will love you with everything I have and ever will have until the bitter end.
