You Are Mine
November 5, 2004
I give to you complete surrender
I give to you what’s holding me down.
I pass along the thorns that prick and prod,
That leave me lost, that leave me dry
I give it to you; it’s no longer mine,
I cannot hold on any longer to what hurts
I cannot refuse you or rebel any longer,
For you are mine and I am yours…

CHORUS

My heart is yours
My life is in your hands
My soul belongs to you
And I know, I know, I am yours, I am yours…

I give to you, what I’ve been holding onto for too long.
I give to you what is rightfully yours
Oh how little I know, how simple am I
To think I could go on without you by my side
Take my plans, make them yours
Pour out your love and grace, hold me close to you

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You said, “You are just a rose with a few thorns, bleeding, crying, all alone. But you are mine, you are mine.
I’ll take your thorns upon my head, I’ll take your nails into my hands, for you are mine, you are mine.”

SECOND CHORUS

Your heart is mine
Your life is in my hands
Your soul belongs to me,
And you know, you know, you are mine, you are mine…

Written Saturday morning, 10:28 A.M., after finally letting God in after a series of rebellious decisions made to purposely hurt God. I finally let Him in, He’s been knocking, He’s been trying to speak, but whenever He did, I pushed Him out or find something to do that would occupy my mind so I wouldn’t have to face Him. I had hurt Him too badly to turn to Him, yes, pride.
But I hurt too badly to continue in this sin, I needed a savior. I finally broke down in complete humility and surrender, giving to Him what’s been causing me pain – I just couldn’t hold on any longer to what hurt too badly. I’ve made some pretty rotten decisions, and some deathly choices. I’ve sinned time and time again, I’ve been left alone, I’ve been rebellious and “pushy”, I’ve been selfish and inconsiderate. I’ve been so insanely unkind to everyone – yet God says, “Come here baby, I missed you.” I envision it this way: I had been running from Him for SO long, that when I finally wanted to run back, I was out of breath and strength. So God ran to me instead, because He loves me, why? Because, simply because. I love my Jesus, my faith may be simple – but my love for this merciful God is genuine, because it flows from a heart of thankfulness.
Pastor Dave once said that those who love God most are the ones who’ve been forgiven the most, I have been forgiven beyond what I could ever imagine. Because these past few months have been a series of bad choices and unwise decisions that have only led to desperation. But Jesus simply wiped them away, just like He’s wiped away my tears when there was no more reason for them…
How wonderful my dear lovely Savior is, how beautiful His face must be… I give to Him, COMPLETE SURRENDER…
His Rose
