All that I am is yours

Saxon Crow

I am all alone in the wilderness

Alone in the desert

I am lost in my weakness

Tempted by my fears

My head is too weak to look up to you

My feet to heavy to walk into your light

I am not worthy to be in your presence

As my sins weigh me down

And yet I pray for your help

I pray for you to lift me up and carry me

Though I am a worthless fool

Dare I ask for forgiveness?

Do I warrant such a reprieve

All I have done was for my own

Selfish pride

My depravity has led me to this end

And yet I pray for your mercy

I have been blinded by my greed

Earthly desire is all that I have sought

This heart of stone chokes in my throat

And tears that I shed are dry to the touch

I am nothing but empty and cracked clay

A false image of what I should have been

And yet I pray to you for forgiveness Lord

And through it all

Through every wrong doing

You take my hands and lift me up

You embrace me as your own child

And hold me gently

You tell me everything is alright and that I am loved

And upon hearing these words

My heart of stone becomes a heart of flesh

My sins are washed away

And my sight restored

All thanks to your love, your grace and your mercy

There is no one else but you my Lord

You gave me life

And I will give it back to you

All that I am is yours forever

All that I am is yours forever
