Jesus I Give You My Life

Jesus, I Give You My Life!

Jesus, this life I have, 
I freely give it!
I give to the father, son 
and Holy Spirit!

I give you a life of trials and stress.
I’ve found in you
 a haven of rest!

I give to you a life burdened with fear.
I know you give a peace
 that’s totally secure!

I give you a life burdened with sin.
I ask for your blood to cleanse within!

I give you a life with a heart 
of shame.
I come and confess before your 
precious name!

I confess my sinful 
and backward ways.
I give to you thankfulness
 and praise!

You’re the one I’ve
 always needed!
With you in my life, 
I’m now completed!

You brought to me
 unspeakable joy!
An abundant life with you,  
I shall enjoy!
