Lord, We Submit Ourselves To You
Lord, we submit* ourselves to You according to Your will
Not insisting our stubbornness along arrogance-hill…
Help us whom You’ve granted Your redemption bill
To humble at Your throne of mercy where we keep still
In obtaining grace on how Your plan to fulfill.
Lord, we submit our hearts to You in Your name
Not doubting Your promises we should claim…
Help us whom You’ve rescued in our pitiful frame
To confess our acknowledged sin and shame
In casting our cares to Your provision’s fame.
Lord, we submit our pursuits to You for Your glory
Not coveting any honour nor entertaining worry…
Help us whom You’ve raised by Your victory
To lift up to You praises we carry
In pursuing for a holy life story.
Lord, we submit our hope to You through Your Spirit
Not ignoring Your might for our faith’s summit…
Help us whom You’ve made heaven-fit
To rely on Your Word’s perfect wit
In sharing the Gospel, so compassionately lit.
Lord, we submit our strength to You with Your guidance
Not banking on feeble and failing self-endurance…
Help us whom You’ve called with assurance
To yield to You against carnal resistance
In subduing foes through Your divine assistance.
Lord, we submit our thoughts to You by Your way
Not leaning on our understanding’s ray…
Help us whom You’ve ransomed with Your blood’s pay
To depend on Your wisdom without delay
In overcoming problems we face everyday.
Lord, we submit our cares to You along Your goodness
Not frustrating deliberately Your loving kindness…
Help us whom You’ve blessed with Your graciousness
To thank and praise You with joyousness
In worshipping You in Your truthfulness.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God…
