Giving Up

Dear Lord, this is (name), and I’m officially giving up

I am officially deciding to give up my life for You

And not just part of it, but all of it

I'm officially choosing to give all of me to You,

Because I know that You can give me much more than I could ever get for myself

Although, I don't want it to be about what I'm getting,

Even though You give peace that lasts a lifetime

 I want it to be about who You are and what you did when you gave your life to save mine

I want it to be about how deserving You are of all my praise

It’s not about me, what I want has to be what you want

If it's not, life is going to be pretty meaningless until the end

What I want has to be founded on what you tell me in your word

You have to be the center of what my heart wants

So I'm giving up, I’m giving myself totally to your plan

I don't want to live for myself anymore

I want to find exactly what you have for me

May you start something great in the life you've given me
