My Heart Is Yours - Kristian Stanfill

You are enough

Three simple words. Three words.

But do we really believe He is? What does it look like to live like He is enough? If He is enough, how should we act? How should we trust? How would we spend our time?

I don't know about you, but I am a first class control freak. And I need to be careful, because sometimes I think I even find value in that. I'm a perfectionist who wants things to work exactly right - to be able to say "I did this thing, and it went this well, and I did it all by myself, all on my own."

All to Jesus I surrender
All to You I freely give
I will ever love and trust You
In Your presence I will live
All to Jesus I surrender
All to You I freely give
I will ever love and trust You
In Your presence I will live

I think God looks at me and laughs sometimes. Like how much cooler would it be if I did it with Him. How much better would it be if He was the one who did it. Not saying He can't use me... but just that if I surrender. Really surrender. Really give everything freely to Him... how  much better will it be for all of us?

Because that value that I find in my performance?  Really? He sees so much more in me than that.

That value that I find in thinking I did that thing by myself? How much more value does He bring to my life, when He chose me, when I was stuck in sin?

You see - the God of the universe values us - not because of what we have done, not because of what we say, do, how well we sing... our good deeds are but filthy rags. He values us because He calls us His children.

So will you lay down your life for Him in return? Lay down your own pride? Lay down your inner control-freak to dwell in His presence?

This Lent pick something. Lay it down. Pick up Jesus in its place.

My heart is yours, Lord, My heart is yours. Take it all, Take it all, My life in Your hands.


I give You my life
I give You my trust
Jesus
You are my God
You are enough
Jesus

My heart is Yours
My heart is Yours
Take it all
Take it all
My life in Your hands
My heart is yours
My heart is yours
Take it all
Take it all
My life in Your hands

I lay down my life
And take up my cross
Jesus
For You are my God
Whatever the cost
Jesus
For You, Jesus

My heart is Yours
My heart is Yours
Take it all
Take it all
My life in Your hands
My heart is yours
My heart is yours
Take it all
Take it all
My life in Your hands

All to Jesus I surrender
All to You I freely give
I will ever love and trust You
In Your presence I will live
All to Jesus I surrender
All to You I freely give
I will ever love and trust You
In Your presence I will live

My heart is Yours
My heart is Yours
Take it all
Take it all
My life in Your hands
My heart is yours
My heart is yours
Take it all
Take it all
My life in Your hands
