lyrics

If You asked me to give up my whole world, how would I respond?

Lord, I’m trembling,
I’m dying
Terribly now
I wanted somehow
To pursue my aims!
But You’re throwing me down again!!

Why must my heart consume my mind?
Why must these lies have a hold on my life?
They're holding me down!
The devil’s claws clutch my neck
And he takes me down!!
But I’m wanting somehow...
To return to Your life
Why must my pride lift me so high?
To be brought... so... low

Down upon my face, on my hands and knees,
God, this is where You wanted me
So I will lay here and find my life
You better know what You're doing...

Can Your hope be enough?
Where is Your love?
It’s at the back of my mind,
But at the forefront now is a confrontation,
Leaving me all but wasted in this world.

The screaming death of my mind:
“Never, never, never will you succeed!
Never, never, never will you succeed!
Never, never--” but You’re breaking through my thoughts!
Take the chains off my mind!!

My eyes never see
What You want them to see
I always look away
I always look away

Turn... my eyes... to Your cross...
Where You died for me
Turn... my eyes... to Your cross...
Turn... my eyes... to Your cross...
Where I hung and died with You
So that I would no longer live
For my self or these selfish thoughts
Oh God...

Father... I hear You
If I have to give up my whole world, take it
Take it from me, ‘cause I can’t hold it anymore.

When I release to You my life
I find my need for You satisfies
You satisfy
You satisfy me
Jesus, You satisfy

I am a poor, wretched soul, Lord
And emotional as a train wreck
Teach me peace, teach me joy
Teach me love for You above all else
Teach me love for others above myself
And may I find myself secure in You,
Though dashed by life’s trials, beaten and bruised
For my life is not my life
My life is You
