One of my friends tweeted a lyric to the song "All I Am" by Phil Wickham today and I got curious. So, obviously, I went and youtubed the song to listen to it.
LOVE. The song applied directly to missions and related beautifully to my upcoming trip to Honduras. Here are the full lyrics:
"Take these hands
I know they're empty
But with You they can
Be used for beauty
In Your perfect Plan
All I am is Yours
Take these feet
I know they stumble
But You use the weak
You use the humble
So, please use me
All I am is Yours
I give You all my life
I'm letting it go
A living sacrifice
No longer my own
All I am is Yours
All I am is Yours
Take this heart
Set it on fire
Shine it in the dark
I wanna tell the world
Of who You are
All I am is Yours
I give You all my life
I'm letting it go
I live in sacrifice
No longer my own
All I am is Yours
All I am is Yours
I give You everything
To You I belong
Every beat of my heart
The breath in my lungs
All I am is Yours
All I am is Yours
I lift my hands up
God I surrender
All that I am
For Your glory, Your honor, Your faith
I lift my hands up
God I surrender to You
I give You all my life
I'm letting it go
I live in sacrifice
No longer my own
All I am is Yours
All I am is Yours
I give You everything
To You I belong
Every beat of my heart
The breath in my lungs
All I am is Yours
All I am is Yours"
All we are is God's. That is our purpose here on this Earth, to shine for Him and to bring His Name the glory. We may only have empty hands and stumbling feet, but God uses those to His glory. When we surrender He uses our weaknesses, our strengths, our breath, and our life to bring others to Him. We just have to give Him all that we are!
