You are the Lord who sees
My beginning and the end
You have ordained each day
My future is in Your hand
You breathe life and purpose
As You had me in Your mind
Long before the time began
You knew every step I’d take
By Your hand, You lead me out of the wilderness
By Your love, You draw me close to Your heart
Now I stand here with You
Where Your grace sees me through
I open my heart, and lift up my eyes to You
And all I could see is Your faithfulness and love
You filled my life with hope and truth
And mercy that’s new every day
You gave your all for me
When You took my place and died for me
You see the depths of my heart
All of my fears, my hope, my dreams
In brokenness I surrender my all
Laying them at Your feet
Let my life be a living sacrifice
To bring honour and glory to Your name
May I live to worship You alone
To dwell in Your house and gaze at Your beauty
Now I call You My Lord and King
Jehovah, my soul provider
Life giver, Prince of peace
I’ll give my praise to You forevermore

The Art of Surrender
It's been a while since my last blog entry...partly because I have no computer at home (I'm amazed at myself that I can actually live without it...well, for temporary time only..). I can say that it has been a great and amazing few weeks of my life.
Interesting enough that God was speaking about a lot of things at the same time, personally again He is bringing me to a place of deeper trust in Him. He was asking me to surrender my heart,again and again...the things that I hold tightly in my heart, and I realised that I have not fully given it to Him all of it. There I knew that how little my faith is...how weak my heart is. But I want to follow Him, and I do want to be wholeheartedly devoted to Him. As I choose that decision, my heart just broke. It's almost like everytime I'm broken before God, it's like a jar that broke again and again, the first few times it broke, it became small pieces, and the more it's being broken again and again, it became finer and all the sharp and rough edges begin to disappear.
The art of surrender....how does one give what is not his?And to begin to embrace death of oneself...where one is finally no more. Taking on a new life, transforming to One image...an image so perfect and whole.
It's an art of giving,....giving oneself wholly without holding anything back. Casting all cares and concerns of oneself to One, whom with open arms, promise to keep, guard, and always present.
I want to live a radical life for Him...the One...and totally casting myself with all the cares in my life, and to believe, to hope, to trust....having confidence that my God will supply all my needs according to the riches found in Christ Jesus. I took His word for it.
I want to be one, who will master the art of surrender...to see His glory in my lifetime. A constant art to learn, but I know that He'll be constantly present to enable me to do it.
