My heart longs for absolute surrender

My heart longs for absolute surrender That I’d wholly consecrated be, Not in word alone but all my being Would be fully given unto Thee.

There is little willingness within me To place all I am before Thy feet, So I lay my hands on Thy dear head, Lord As the burnt off’ring, perfect, complete.

Lord, You are the only One who offered Yourself without reluctance unto God; Full obedience to the Father given, Absolute, You sacrificed Your all.

As this One, You’re dwelling in my spirit; Moving, spreading outward day by day. There’s a whisper of Amen within me In response to all that You would say.

I say Yes and give You full permission To touch every corner of my heart; Break through all the barriers in my being; Do not let me withhold any part.

’Tis my joy to give You all the ground, Lord; Make my heart a dwelling place for You; I want You to be at home within me; Come and settle down in every room.

Lord, do cleanse my heart from all self-seeking That I’d truly want nothing but Thee; Let my soul be occupied, possessed, Lord, That You would be magnified in me.
