surrendering self

You will never, in this life, know who you really and truly are, until you ask the One Who made you, the One Who knows you better than any other (and loves you just the same).

You will never ask the One Who knows you who you really and truly are, unless you trust Him and the answer He will give you.

You will never trust Him, if you do not know Who He is.

You will never know Who He is, unless you spend time with Him. Unless you spend time sitting at His feet and listening to Him, opening up your heart and mind to Him. Drinking Him in, until He fills your very soul to overflowing. Revering Him, worshipping Him, being thankful to Him for everything.

You will never, in this life, know who you really and truly are, unless you spend enough time with God (worshipping Him and listening to Him and expressing thankfulness to Him) that you can trust Him and believe what He says (and what you read in His holy Word).

Without God, you are nothing. With God, you are everything He says that you are, and you are everything that He has declared you to be, everything that He has made you to be, and fully equipped to do every good work that He pre-destined for you before the beginning of time.


Center Of It All – by Tim Hughes

In the beginning
Before You set the world in motion
Uncreated God eternal

Radiant beauty
Infinite, the God-head, three-in-one
Perfect Father, Spirit, Savior

And it all begins and ends with You
It all begins and ends with You
The first, the last, the center of it all
And in You all things are held together
The sun, the moon, the stars, the heavens
Creator God, the center of it all

All of the Universe explodes in song before designer King
Valley-shaper, mountain-maker
The stars sing out, they can't contain the praises of their God
Earth creator, heaven shaker

And it all begins and ends with You
It all begins and ends with You
The first, the last, the center of it all
And in You all things are held together
The sun, the moon, the stars, the heavens
Creator God, the center of it all

Beginning of it all
The reason for it all
The centre of it all

And it all begins and ends with You
It all begins and ends with You
The first, the last, the center of it all
And in You all things are held together
The sun, the moon, the stars, the heavens
Creator God, the center of it all



Living For Your Glory – by Tim Hughes

What good is it to gain the whole world
But lose your soul?
What good is it to make a sweet sound
But remain proud?
In view of God’s mercy, I offer my all

And take my life, let it be
Everything, all of me
Here I am, use me for Your glory
In everything I say and do
Let my life honour You
Here I am, living for Your glory

The road I’m on that leads nowhere without You
And the life I live that finds meaning and surrender
In view of God’s mercy, I offer my all

And take my life, let it be
Everything, all of me
Here I am, use me for Your glory
In everything I say and do
Let my life honour You
Here I am, living for Your glory

And take my life, let it be
Everything, all of me
Here I am, use me for Your glory
In everything I say and do
Let my life honour You
Here I am, living for Your glory

Seeking first the Kingdom
Seeking first the Kingdom of my Lord
Seeking first the Kingdom
Seeking first the Kingdom of my Lord

And take my life, let it be
Everything, all of me
Here I am, use me for Your glory
In everything I say and do
Let my life honour You
Here I am, living for Your glory

And take my life, let it be
Everything, all of me
Here I am, use me for Your glory
In everything I say and do
Let my life honour You
Here I am, living for Your glory

And take my life, let it be
Everything, all of me
Here I am, use me for Your glory
In everything I say and do
Let my life honour You
Here I am, living for Your glory






Life without God, is no life at all. Life without total surrender to the Master, is wasted.

Lord, let me not waste what You have given me…

May everything I touch, everything that I see and taste and hear and do, may it all turn to unsatisfying dust in my hands and in my heart, until my life is completely Yours.

Take me, Lord Jesus.
