That's the Best I Can Do

What could I give to Him, 
what do I have ?
What could I give to Him
that He does not have ?

I'll give my life to Him
that's the best I can do.
All broken and tattered,
I know He'll  make it new.

Now that my life is His,
what do I do ?
Now that my life is His,
I'm surely starting out new.

I'll keep my trust in Him,
that's the best I can do.
Wherever He leads in life,
I trust He'll see me through.

1 more LOL the old braods tired! Good message...it's even true in physics..matter is neither created nor destroyed it simply changes form...again with the "I's" if the intent of writing all this testemony is to aid others in coming to Christ...you need to write so others can "see themselves in the same place" with all the "I's" we see you as blessed but not how we can be so blessed. OF COURSE it's a good verse. I want you to do what you want to do! Light & Love

Lovely write, so peaceful and inspiring..I love the message here, We have to trust in the lord and do the best that we can and he will do what we can't.Trust that he will bless us, heal us, save us, keep us and guide all our paths and journeys.. God wants us to give our burdens to him, and he will see us through..Give him the glory, honor and praise Always...Well done!!God Bless You and Best wishes to you in your writing*Tyesha
