Jesus My Life Is Yours

Jesus… My Life Is YOURS!
	
	I have often felt
	 emptiness within.
	It’s like my life
	 has been in a tailspin.
	
	I have for many years desired
	 many things,
Never being fulfilled with
 what life brings.

Contentment and happiness
 I once thought I had…
Have brought a feeling of emptiness
 and a heart that’s sad.

I give my life to you Jesus!
And everything within!
By your shed blood,
 I can be born again!

You give joy, hope and add
true meaning!
In your arms of love and mercy
 I want to be leaning.

There’s nothing in my life you
 don’t understand.
You promised to never
 let go of my hand.

I bow my head and
 humbly confess…
Living for Jesus is 
ALWAYS the best!
