I Am Yours Lord
by Barbara Philbrook

I am yours and You Heavenly Father are mine,
just as you planned it to be since the beginning of time.

I surrender daily in hopes that I may diligently serve you,
it is my sincere prayer that I accomplish all that you intend for me to do.

Life in this world has evolved to a cesspool of depravity and sin,
the only ray of hope that we have is to let the love that you offer to us in.

The price of sin was that all sinners must die,
Jesus paid that price though we could never deserve it no matter how hard we were to try.

You and Jesus put the love You felt for us first,
Jesus came here to live and the treatment He received was the very worst.

His truths were neglected He himself was rejected,
and then to the most awful death He was subjected.

Knowing in advance just what would eventually occur,
Jesus came because He loved us exactly where  we were.

Immediately upon accepting the gift of salvation,
the Holy Spirit moves into our hearts and starts a complete renovation.

I am no longer the sinning wayfarer that I on my own used to be,
I am now the child of God the new creature that the Spirit brought forth for the world to see.

I am my Father's child and being so makes me so happy and proud,
I intend to forever sing God's praises boldly aloud.
