All I Am

Take these hands. I know they're empty but with You they can be used for beauty in Your perfect land. All I am is Yours.ml ]
Take these feet. I know they stumble but You use the weak. You use the humble, so please use me. All I am is Yours.
I give You all my life. I'm letting it go. A living sacrifice, no longer my own. All I am is Yours.

Take this heart, set it on fire, shine it in the dark. I wanna tell the world of who You are. All I am is Yours.
I give You all my life. I'm letting it go. A living sacrifice no longer my own. All I am is Yours.
I give You everything. To You I belong. Every beat of my heart, the breath in my lungs. All I am is Yours
I lift my hands up. God I surrender all that I am for Your glory, Your honor, Your faith. I lift my hands up. God I surrender to You

- All I Am by Phil Wickham


The lyrics to this song have consumed my life lately. I am currently in the process of deciding what I will be doing in the Spring, where I will be living, where I will be working and God is definitely challenging me through these lyrics. I have my own plans, that's for sure, of where I want to be but lately I have been hearing this little voice in the back of my mind reminding me that it's not what I want. God has a greater plan. He knows exactly where I'm going to end up and He has a plan that is far greater than my own selfish desires. 


I want to be a willing servant. I want to step out of my own comfort zone, and go where I am called to go. It won't be easy, after all it never is. But the rewards that I could see from listening to God speak and just simply obeying would far outweigh any rewards I could achieve on my own. 


So I'm surrendering. Everything about me, I'm giving it up. I am lifting my hands in surrender to Your great name and Your perfect will. All that I am for Your glory, not mine.


I surrender to You.
