I Surrender

dear Lord I surrender my life to you
and want  to do the things you want me to do
I lay everything down because you are my friend
and you love me from begining untill end
you have no conditions your love is free
and my life is the most precious  gift that  you gave to me
I know you never make us do anything 
we don't want to do
you gave your life for me
and  I give up my life for you
so I COME to the foot of the cross
where  i lay everything down that's a distraction to me
I surrender all to walk eternaly with you
nothing else can satisfy my soul
no one else can make me whole
I want to be the person that you intend me to be
so I surrender all willingly. Amen
