the start of something new

Today is the start of something new,
the dawn of a new life.
From now on it’s not going to be easy,
in fact it’s going to be incredibly difficult.

Today I will allow a crazy, loving, relentless
powerful God to consume me.

I will surrender, I will forfeit everything-
all my fears, doubts, despair, pain-
so that I may know Him, love Him, and obey Him

Starting today, I will allow You to work
in my life more and more
to rid me of myself, of my apathy, of my guilt,
my sorrow and shame and live for You

I want You. I want to love You more, but I can’t.
I’m helpless, desperate and weak. I need You
Consume me. Be my hope, my delight, and everything.
Be my first and greatest Love. Be my satisfaction,
fortress and peace.

Help me to walk in faith
Let me learn to love You with all that I am.

May I be a compass that forever points to You,
a light that reflects Your glory and Your love.
May this life You’ve given me be marked by
faithfulness and love for You

May every action I do honor You-

May my eyes see the broken and weak
and move into action. May my eyes be pure,
see Your vision, Your kingdom, Your will, and obey

May my hands be cleansed by Your amazing grace;
may my hands be pure and holy.
May You use my hands to touch the lives of others
and honor You.
May they extend Your true love and grace to others
as You’ve freely extended to me

May my feet walk in Your path, Your ways.
May they carry me to wherever You may lead me.
May I carry Your message those You call me to love,
even if I tire or am weary.

May everything that I am proclaim that You are God,
the only God- holy, perfect, loving and just.
Lead me to the cross. Mold me, shape me, transform me.
Whatever the cost.

For I am Yours.
