O Lord, since Thou has died to give Thyself for me,
No sacrifice would be too great for me to make for Thee.

Lord, send me anywhere, only go with me.
Lay any burden on me, only sustain me.
Sever any tie, save the tie that binds me to Thy heart.
My King, I consecrate my life, Lord to Thee.

I only have one life, and that will soon be past. 
I want my life to count for Christ, what’s done for Him will last.

I follow Thee, my Lord, and glory in Thy cross. 
I gladly leave the lord behind and count all gain as loss.

anyone can give up… it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. but to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.

save me from myself.

God of grace, you have imputed my sin to my substitute, and have imputed his righteousness to my soul. But in my Christian walk I am still in rags; my best prayers are stained with sin. I need to repent of my repentance; I need my tears to be washed; I have no robe to bring to cover my sins, no loom to weave my own righteousness. I am always giving into the far country, and always returning home as a prodigal, always saying, ‘Father, forgive me,’ and you are always bringing forth the best robe. Grant me never to lost sight of the exceeding sinfulness of sin, the exceeding righteousness of salvation, the exceeding beauty of holiness, and the exceeding wonder of grace.

“cuts, scars, bruises, lies, and fake laughs. fake smiles, constant cries, and a horrifying past. promises broken, lost loves… and the “trust me” that didn’t last.”

in any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. so hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours.
