Tune: Wolvercote
(one tune to \'O Jesus, I have promised\')
Based on a prayer by Richard Foster, Christian author
*******
Today, O Lord, to you I yield
Myself, your power wield
May your will be my delight
May I keep you in sight
O\'er all my life have perfect sway
May your love day by day
Be my pattern of living
My life to you giving
I surrender to you my
Hopes, dreams, plans, by and by
Do with them what you will, when
You will, as you will, then
I shall know freedom, and grace
To your love\'s care I place
My friends, family, future
Commit them to you sure
Care for them, Lord, with a care
Of your sweet presence there
A care that I ne\'er can give
But in your care we live
Into your hands I release
My need to control, cease
My craving for status, my
Desire for praises high
Eradicate the evil
Purify the good still
And establish on earth your
Kingdom for evermore
All for the sake of your Son
I ask, He be the one
Who has served us and does serve
Grants more than we deserve
