Revived

[From my 2003 journal, written September 15, 2003]

I don’t want to be ever parted from You
I love You my God and I desire truth
There’s so much more I want to know about You
Let Your Spirit guide me, reveal Your truths

May my mouth speak nothing but Your praises alone
And my life show Your mercy, glory and grace
And from my heart overflow the love that You’ve shown
And Your joy manifest all over my face

In surrender and obedience I lay down my life
To do as You please, Lord have Your own way
Consecrated, set apart, a living sacrifice
To live for You and die to myself everyday

O God, to You my life truly belongs
All praise, all honor, all glory, all love
My psalms, my hymns, my spiritual songs
Ascribed to You who reigns from above
