WILLING TO GIVE

 

All that is unspoken

And all that is unseen

All that I feel

In the depths of my soul

I long to give to Thee.

 

And all that You ask of me

And all that I am

I will place

On the altar of sacrifice

for Thee.

 

I give You my all

Because a heart

Can give no more.

HE HEARS ME

 

Nearer to Thee by LDS Bookstore

He hears me when in the

Solitude of my darkest nights

On Him I call.

 

He hears me when in silence

My heart tries to hide

My fears that I might fall.

 

He hears me when in crowds

My mind wanders and doubts

Begin their insidious call.

 

He hears me whether

I cry to Him or not

Because He knows my very soul,

He knows it all.

HEALING IN HIS WINGS

 

Love's Redeeming Work by LDS Bookstore

When You rose from Your grave

With healing in Your wings,

Did I live on in Your heart

As you ascended to Your throne

To seal my destiny?

Did You carry us all in Your bosom

With the crucible of the cross

Forever etched in Your memory?

ALTAR OF MY HEART

 

God is Love by LDS Bookstore

As the stars in heaven

That burn with everlasting light

So is my love that burns for Thee

On the altar of my heart.

RETURN TO HEAVEN

 

Joy Cometh In The Morning by LDS Bookstore

Will I be lost in crowds of heaven

When my mortal shell at last I leave,

And will this earthly life appear unreal

When my true home is to me revealed?

 

Will I come to see Thy face

I so often sought on bended knee,

And forget all the lonely moments

I suffered with merciful help from Thee?

 

My heart will rend within my chest

When I kneel before Thy throne;

I will weep with grateful heart

For cherished truths that I have known.

CONSECRATION

 

The Anointed One by Joseph Brickey

I kneel before Thy throne each day

Never knowing what first to say.

Then I remember what my soul foremost needs

Is my heartfelt devotion to only Thee.

 

My thoughts, my words, my earthly deeds

I consecrate as a memorial in prayer to Thee.

I spread my heart before Thy feet,

As the Sacrificial Lamb I come to see.

 

I see You smile, I hear You say:

You are in my heart today.

The sacrifice was mine to give,

Your soul I purchased that you might live.

MY HOUR OF AGONY

 

Prince of Peace by Greg Collins

You opened my heart

And searched for what

You there did not see;

My feeble faith and lack of trust

Stood in contrast to your will for me.

You sorrowed for the tears I shed

With every step I was led to take

To find You in my hour of agony.

How patiently You stood waiting

With open arms hoping I would come to Thee;

How patiently You hoped

I would give You all that was lacking in me.
