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.
