Melekh

My King, I kneel before You humbled as can be. I offer You my sacrifice of all You've given me. I cannot give You treasure, for I do not have it to give, but instead I will devote to You the way in which I live. I cast to You my earthly crowns; I lay them at Your feet. I bow my head before You and I admit to You, defeat. No longer will I live for me; it is You I choose to serve. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done Your name I will preserve. When I go into battle, Your banner will I fly. I will fight this war for You and my sword I will hold high. Before, I have forsaken Thee, but I've come back to You at last. My Lord, I do apologize. Please keep me in your grasp. My King, My Lord, You are my All My strength You do provide, And I choose to spend eternity forever by Your side.
