Lift Your Life Up

Lord, forgive me.

Forgive me for fleeing to wells that don’t satisfy.

Forgive me for talking more than listening.

Forgive me for running so fast that I don’t make room for You in the quiet.

Lord, I desperately need You.

I need Your refreshing in a dry and weary land.

I need Your still small voice to show me the way.

I need to see Your footprints in the middle of my mess.

Lord, I lift my life up to You again.

Have Your way in me.

Take my heart and break it for what matters to You.

May my lips ever praise You.

I’m all Yours.

You brought me this far, so why would I question You now?
You have provided, so why would I start to doubt?
I’ve never been stranded, abandoned or left here to fight alone,
So I’m giving You control.

I lift my life, lift my life up.
I give it all in surrender.
I lift my heart, lift my heart up.
You can have it forever.
All my dreams, all my plans,
Lord, I leave it in Your hands.
I lift my life, lift my life up.

Have Your way in me.
Have Your way in me.

If peace is a river, then let it sweep over me.
If I’m under fire, I know it’s refining me.
When I hear You calling out, I follow now wherever the road may go.
I know You’re leading me home.

Have Your way in me.
Have Your way in me.

Take my life and let it be all for You.
Take my life and let it be all for You.

Lord, I lift my life up to You.

Let’s Pray Big in Community:

This year, my desire is to lift up holy hands and “Pray Big.” Want to join me? I’ve created a private “Pray Big” Facebook group for like-minded sisters to share their stories and surrender each one to our mountain-moving God in prayer. Let’s cry out to God together.
