Consecrated, Solemnly

Consecrated, Solemnly Each day I submit to you, O Lord, All my soul and all my being For, I know you are with and in me In ev'rything I am doing and serving When I wake up ev'ry morning, O Lord, each day Thanks be to You. for watching over me, You are by my side, always. In temptation or in uncertainty. When anxiety and trouble crush down on me And darkness conquers over my mind and vision You are the guiding light for me to see, Shining forth to my direction and destination. Each day, O Lord, thanks be to You, All protection, graces, and blessings, you're planting Into my thoughts, my dreams, and my planning Into my heart and my ev'rything. Each day, O Lord, I lift up my pure heart, And in my soul, my gratitude and sincerity, My sincere prayer and meditation, to You The wholeness of me, consecrated, earnestly Yes, the wholeness of me, consecrated, completely, To you, in ev'ryday of my lowly life You gift me love, you gift me wisdom, abundantly, You gift me vision of eternal light. Though if my worldly life could span thousand years Still, how could I repay, O Lord, how could I repay? For, my life is blessed with Your fullness, always Like the sun rising in the East each morning And to the sea, river water longing For Your sake, O my sweet Lord, I'm conforming Like flowers blossom, fruit ripens, in the obedience And from deepest thoughts and prayers, emerge the passion Carry my cross, following the serving pathway And all of me, consecrated, solemnly, to You, ev'ryday.
