where i find it all

it is nothing i do. i am too weak to carry my burdens on my own. my pride is too big for me to be a servant. i am not strong enough to have an ever lasting smile. i am too wretched to save myself. but His grace will lighten my step, His humility will break me, His love will bring me joy, His sacrifice has brought me redemption. i can rest in His unrelenting love, that daily teaches and brings renewal. i can cast all my burdens at Him, because my God is big enough to take them on His shoulders and still carry me in His hand.
at camp we sang a gorgeous song called We Give It All. the only part we remember is the chorus. i was in a rut trying to remember the verses to share, but then i realized i am singing for an audience of one. the perfection of the verses doesnt matter, just the heart behind them. so my prayer tonight is a song delivered on my knees.

these earthly plans
and these selfish dreams
my guilty hands
and my thoughts unseen
my fear of failure
that ties me to this land

i give it all to You
i give it all to You
i give it all
i give it all to You

my wicked pride
my broken heart
the enemy's lies
that tear us apart
this world is fading
and all i am is Yours

i give it all to You
i give it all to You
i give it all
I give it all to You

my hope. my faith. a joy carried by Your name.
my peace. my strength. a grace that alone can save.

i find it all in You
i find it all in You
i find my all
i find my all in You.
