It is not enough for us to just ask for the Lord's forgiveness and then expect Him to do everything we ask of Him.  We must give Him our whole life, with our whole heart, because unless we do this He cannot complete the work He needs to in our lives to prepare us to be with Him when He comes to take us home.  So, I ask you now, please, give Him your whole life, not just a part, and do it with all your heart so that He can take complete control

LORD, I'VE GIVEN YOU MY LIFE

Lord, I've given You my life,
And to You my heart I give,
And I will search for Yours
For as long as I shall live.

You are my Saviour and my King,
My Redeemer and my Lord —
To know You is to love You,
And to see You, my reward.

As I come into Your presence
To worship and adore,
The desire of my heart
Is to be with You forevermore.

I long to see Your face
And bow before Your throne,
So while I have breath left in me
I will worship You alone.

You are my haven from the storm,
My refuge and my strength,
And I know that, to protect me,
You will go to any length.

I know how much You love me,
For it was for me You died,
And that there is no greater gift
Really cannot be denied.

I don't know how to thank You Lord,
For the sacrifice You made
So that I could have my life renewed
And no longer be afraid.

You've set me free from sin and shame,
And from worry, fear and strife,
And so to You my heart I give,
And I've given You my life.
