...in my boxers...

Take all of me,
please let it be.
Less and less of my selfish,
more and more of the wealth,
all that is You,
all that is true.

I give up me,
please let me see.
I'm just a passing story,
this life is for Your glory.
Every day I see the Sacrificial Tree,
and see Your love beyond degree.

Your grace for me
can it be?
Tired of all that I am,
sick of obsession with this man.
The tears of corruption,
on my knees, pleading supplication.

How can You notice me?
Every day I plea,
all that You are,
we could never cross that bar,
please help me understand,
I am Yours, for You I stand.

On one knee,
now both bent they be.
All of You,
only then can joy be true.
Tears of joy flow on and on,
my heart Your hand is on.

Every day, pick up my cross,
otherwise this life is loss.
Tomorrow I will do it anew,
for You, anything I'll do.
For You love us,
and deserve our full trust.

Amen.

"Every day, pick up my cross"
