As I Give God My Love and Affection

As I give God my love
 and deep affection…
He’s planted my feet
 in a new direction!

As I give God my adoration 
and deepest praise…
His presence is with me
 all of my days!

As I give God my heart
 and my time…
I begin to have a
 Christ-like mind.

As I give God meditation
 on his word…
His voice is more
 distinctly heard.

As I submit to God my
 actions and deeds…
I’m amazed as to how
 he meets my needs!

As I submit to God and let
 him be Lord of all…
My faith in him grows ever so tall!

As I submit to God and cast 
my cares on him..
I fall in love with him… 
 Again and again!

Won’t YOU submit your
 life to him as well?
The emptiness inside of you… 
He will fill…

Won’t you come to him,
 and let his blood was you clean?
He is our righteousness.
 Our everything!
