God, the wonders that your hands have created
Are overwhelming for me to behold.
And I’m sure that the depth of your love for me
Is much more than I’ve ever supposed.
How do I show my love for you, God?
How can I ever praise you enough?
What could I possibly do for you
That could compare to your outrageous love?

I bring you the first fruits of my heart,
I read your Word and pray to you.
Haven’t I invited you into my life
With a heart that’s open and true?
What you’ve asked of me is so little
Compared to what you give in return.
If there’s more that I need to give, Lord,
Please, won’t you help me to learn?

 I know I should forsake the enemy,
Stop listening to his lies.
Stop opening up my heart to him
Letting him destroy me from inside.
You’ve told me I can always know Your voice
For, You speak only words of love.
Words I won’t hear from the enemy
Because they’re words, he’s incapable of.

Of course, I need to take care of the needy
The lonely, the broken, the afraid.
Show them to whom they belong
As I give them comfort and aid.
Help me bring our family together, Lord
Help me to tell them of your return
That they may know your love for them,
Lord, make them also eager to learn

God, You are our Father in heaven
We, your children, by water and spirit, rebirth
Co-heir with your Son to your kingdom.
Part of your one family on earth.
So, Lord, I surrender my life to your will
Because You know what’s best for me.
I want to walk hand in hand with you
On the path of my destiny.
