there's a song that's inside of my soul
it's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
so I'll raise my head up high and I'll lift my hands and pray
to be only Yours, only Yours
You know You're my only hope
He's teaching me this lesson, simply because He's making it more costly for me to keep it unlearned than to learn and live it. I have failed this test so many times.
God, help me to listen to You and to obey what You tell me to do. You know exactly what needs to be done. I'm tired of running the show in this; I'm tired of not trusting You to take it in Your hands and do what is best - I've been afraid that You would leave me all alone with my life horribly botched and my heart eternally scarred. I have not trusted You in this area of my life. God, I give You this thing that is so close to my heart: my friends. I lose them when I hold them tight and won't give them up to You. It's only what I release to You that I can keep; it's only what I let You control of that I don't need to stress over.
Take this - my very heart - and let it glorify Your name. Take this - what I have kept from You - and accept it as a sacrifice, entirely Yours, and don't let me take back the reins. Fill every part of my life, help me to see what I am keeping from You, and live in and through me.
