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.
