You called me here,
I followed Your voice,
I have a desire to know you
But I get caught up in this life,
I have a desire to sacrifice all to You,
But I see the,
So called,
Glorious things of the earth and go away.

I know that only You will satisfy all my needs and wants,
So why do I want other things?
Why do I feel that I need other things,
Other people?
Why do I care how people see me?
Why do I separate myself?
Why am I scared to speak out?

I am afraid Lord,
I am so afraid to let You have control, and yet,
I know that it is the only way to find satisfaction.
For in my sacrifice,
In my obedience,
In my weakness,
You are made strong.

Father,
What aspects of my life have I not given over to You?
What aspects do you wish for me to change,
God I am so scared to be an open vessel!
I know that You will be with me but I am still scared.

I feel like a child in a black room,
When I should feel like,
A child surrounded by Light!

I know that You love me,
I know that You are by me.
I don’t understand it?
I don’t know why I feel this way?

Why I don’t speak out?
Why I am not bold?

Help me God to shed it all down,
To shed it all down,
To be broken,
To be transparent,
To speak out for You,
To openly give glory to You as I know I should!

Help me not to feel hindered,
But to worship You through my life,
To worship You all the rest of my life.
Help me to continually seek Your face.
Help me to be bold and proclaim Your name.

I want to glorify Your name in all that I do,
And lead others to that conviction.
I know the things of this world do not satisfy,
They are not as sweet,
Majestic,
Or Glorious as You.

For You,
O God,
Are the Creator.

You are the one who sent Christ,
To save us from our sins.
You not only gave Your Son,
But you gave a part of Yourself.

The least I can do is give myself.
If an Infinite and Holy God,
Will give up any part of Himself for me,
Because He loves me,
The least,
The best thing I can do is give my life to Him.

God,
I give You my life,
I already asked You to be my Lord,
But I never let all my walls down.
You knew this day would come,

It is only through Your strength that I will make it,
It is only through You that I am anything at all.
Only through You,
God,
Your Son,
Jesus Christ,
And Your Holy Spirit.

May my mind begin to always be fixed on these things,
On the trinity,
On the God that keeps,
Not only me,
But all humanity alive with His Will,
And gave us a way to be with Him,
Through His Will.

Your Servant,
Daniel Brockhan
