Lord, my all is on Thine altar
I yield my life to Thee
In full and glad surrender
Take all there is of me.
Oft in penitence I've prayed, Lord
Let my life be consecrated
My declaration of intent
Has frequently been stated.
When I'm serving You, I'm free God
and my sacrifice yields praise
Yes I meant each word I pledged to You
In my younger, carefree days.
It's occurred to me just recently
that my knowledge then was small
Though I thought I'd got things all mapped out
I had no idea at all
No comprehension of the pain
No grasp of what might be
No shred of understanding
Of what life would ask of me.
My Christian life was settled,
My faith was well defined
I wouldn't have expected doubts
to ever cross my mind.
Yet without those doubts, those questions
My faith would not have grown
I've had to re-evaluate
so my walk with God I own
I stand on my convictions
Though some may disagree
Surrender must be total
“Dear God, take all of me.
My “yes” is all You ask for
And that I gladly give
My all is on Thine altar,
For You alone I live.”
