Losing Myself Gaining God

I give myself away.

Use me God. I trust,

You fully. I know You,

Love me. You made,

Me for a purpose.

I never thought that,

I was worth it that,

You sent your only

Son Jesus to hang,

Bleed and die on the

Earth's surface.

So that I could be,

Part of the good gang.

For a long time, I was

Loyal to the bad gang.

You really came into,

My life and I changed,

I'm still in the process,

Of changing- I'm ,

Losing myself and,

Gaining God. I'm losing,

Me and living,

In my destiny.

It's not easy. People

Expect me to be me,

And say that I'm crazy,

For being what You,

Made me to be.

It can be done,

And the only way,

That it will is that,

Self is killed and I,

Do Your will.

You can lose yourself too.

Here's what you do.

Say God I accept You,

And believe that You,

Sent your only seed,

To die for me on Calvary,

And rose from the dead,

So that I can have life,

And live more abundantly.

That is the first step,

In losing yourself and,

Gaining God.
