Only to be yours
"Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name." Psalm 86:11 (NIV)
I just got home from having coffee with a friend and decided to get on iTunes and find some new music. One of my favorite Christian artists is Meredith Andrews. So I wanted to see if she had a new album out..low and behold she did. I had some of her new singles but wasn't sure if the album was out. I started listening to the songs and as usual loved all of them, but one stood out. "Only to be Yours." Maybe because of what my friend and I were talking about, and what God is teaching me. That as much as there are some things I so long, and dream for, my focus needs to be on Jesus! When I looked up the lyrics they fell right in place with what I feel God is teaching me right now. That as much as there are things I want, He needs to be the desire of my heart. So my prayer tonight is "Lord give me a undivided heart, that I may fear your name.Take everything I have, only to be yours Lord.Take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only you."
-Only to be yours-
Undivided, strip everything else away,
Burn the idols, the things in my life that have replaced You,
I lay my life down here on Your alter,
Empty my hands of all I've been holding back
Take everything I have, only to be Yours, Lord, Yours Lord, take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only You.
Captivated, You've stolen my heart away,
I've been liberated, the chains of this world forever broken, You laid Your life down,
Now I surrender, lifting my hands,
I'm holding nothing back
So take everything I have, only to be Yours, Lord, Yours Lord, take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only You.
For every need I want is found in You,
every breath in me a gift from You,
I have nothing here apart from You,
I am Yours Lord, only Yours
Take everything I have, only to be Yours, Lord, Yours Lord, take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only You.
