1
Tell me not of earthly pleasures,
  Tempt me not with sordid gain;
Mock me not with earth's illusions,
  Vex me not with honors vain.
I am weaned from sinful idols;
  I am henceforth not my own;
I have giv'n my heart to Jesus,
  I belong to Him alone.
 
I am not my own,
I am not my own.
I belong to Jesus,
  And I am not my own.
2
Oh, the blessed rest it brings us
  To belong to Christ alone;
We can draw on all His fulness
  When we've nothing of our own.
Blessed Jesus, take me, own me,
  Make me, keep me wholly Thine.
Deign to find in me Thy portion,
  While I joy to call Thee mine.
3
Weary soul, give up the struggle,
  Cease at length thyself to own;
Give yourself away to Jesus,
  And belong to Him alone.
Once He gave His all to win thee,
  Now He asks as much of thee;
All He has He fully gives thee;
  Let thy love His portion be.

He paid the highest price to win us! How can we so selfish be not to respond to such love? Lord I give myself away to Thee, for all is ours when we are His.

What grace, what a mercy that we are not our own, that we can leave everything to the Lord. Blessed Jesus, take me, own me, make me, keep me wholly Thine. Once we let go and give oneself completely to Him the struggles cease and then we have rest.

"Lord, make this a reality in me! I belong to Jesus and I am not my own." In struggles and pains we turn to One who knows well the human sufferings of life, Jesus Christ our Savior. Once we allow Him the way in us we can fully rest in Him as our life and life supply. When we stop our struggling and let Him be the King in us can we know real rest. I am still learning to let go and to let Him be the Leading One in me.
