"Only To Be Yours", song by Meredith Andrew.

This song represents my heart's prayer before the Lord.  Undivided, strip everything else away Burn the idols, the things in my life that have replaced You I lay my life down here on Your altar Empty my hands of all I've been holding back Take everything I have Only to be Yours, Lord, Yours, Lord Take it from my hands Until I'm holding onto only You Captivated, You've stolen my heart away I've been liberated the chains of this world forever broken You laid Your life down, now I surrender Lifting my hands, I'm holding nothing back To take everything I have Only to be Yours, Lord, Yours, Lord Take it from my hands Until I'm holding onto only You For everything I want is found in You Every breath in me, a gift from You I have nothing here apart from You I am Yours, Lord, only Yours Take everything I have Only to be Yours, Lord, Yours, Lord Take it from my hands Until I'm holding onto only You Take everything I have Only to be Yours, Lord, Yours, Lord Take i...

Living the Surrendered Life

This time I want to share this beautiful devotional. It is the content from day 12 of 21 days of this reading plan from Youversion® Enjoy and be blessed!

Remember: JESUS LOVES YOU. 1 John 4 (From the Bible) “This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.

Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God’s Son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we’ve embraced it heart and soul, this love that comes from God. ...
