“Our Father in heaven, holy is Your name, . . .” May I come to You with pure motives.
So many times I don’t.
I come for myself. You already know.
May I draw near to seek Your holy face.
But God, our Holy Father, you see when I only seek Your hand of blessing, without a thought to give You praise.
My thoughts aren’t Your thoughts. My ways aren’t like Yours.
May I seek to worship now. Thank You for Your everlasting love. You see my heart, Your know my thoughts, You know . . .
I have failed to stop and remember, of what You’ve already done. You’ve carried the cross up that steep, rugged path. You willingly suffered nails in Your hands.
You loved me first. You love me last. You love beyond the farthest star in the Universe.
I am held in Love’s grasp.
I love You Jesus. I draw near to You. And You draw near because Your name is Faithful and True. Not because of anything about me. You died on the cross.
“Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, . . .” in this heart, right now. Cover me with the blood of Your Son.
You rose from the dead.
May I come to know the power of Your resurrection.
“Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”
“Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us, . . .” from our natural ways.
All to Jesus, I surrender, all to Him I freely give,
let me do whatever lies before me as if it were for You Lord.
For You Lord, may my work be my praise. May this hymn be my song, all of my days:
All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all,
I surrender all.
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame.
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, Colossians 3:23.
May I praise with all that I do, today. In Jesus name, Amen.
