My heart longs for absolute surrender
That I’d wholly consecrated be,
Not in word alone but all my being
Would be fully given unto Thee.
That I’d wholly consecrated be,
Not in word alone but all my being
Would be fully given unto Thee.

There is little willingness within me
To place all I am before Thy feet,
So I lay my hands on Thy dear head, Lord
As the burnt off’ring, perfect, complete.
To place all I am before Thy feet,
So I lay my hands on Thy dear head, Lord
As the burnt off’ring, perfect, complete.

Lord, You are the only One who offered
Yourself without reluctance unto God;
Full obedience to the Father given,
Absolute, You sacrificed Your all.
Yourself without reluctance unto God;
Full obedience to the Father given,
Absolute, You sacrificed Your all.

As this One, You’re dwelling in my spirit;
Moving, spreading outward day by day.
There’s a whisper of Amen within me
In response to all that You would say.
Moving, spreading outward day by day.
There’s a whisper of Amen within me
In response to all that You would say.

I say Yes and give You full permission
To touch every corner of my heart;
Break through all the barriers in my being;
Do not let me withhold any part.
To touch every corner of my heart;
Break through all the barriers in my being;
Do not let me withhold any part.

’Tis my joy to give You all the ground, Lord;
Make my heart a dwelling place for You;
I want You to be at home within me;
Come and settle down in every room.
Make my heart a dwelling place for You;
I want You to be at home within me;
Come and settle down in every room.

Lord, do cleanse my heart from all self-seeking
That I’d truly want nothing but Thee;
Let my soul be occupied, possessed, Lord,
That You would be magnified in me.
That I’d truly want nothing but Thee;
Let my soul be occupied, possessed, Lord,
That You would be magnified in me.

This hymn is my great confession to the Lord. Within there is a longing for absolute surrender but without I find that in myself I am completely and utterly incapable. My only hope is Jesus in my Spirit. He is truly the only way. I can no longer look at myself and count my failures or fear my inadequacy; He already knows. I must continually lay my hands on His dear head as my burnt offering perfect complete. I must aim at God's Economy and say amen at every turn. Lord I love you! May you gain us!
