NO SACRIFICE

it's not often that a song can totally change one's life, but i can honestly say that this one has. i learned it on the Japan project and God has used it to challenge me to totally hand over *everything* in my life to Him. why? because in the end, i am really only exchanging what i think is good for the surpassing greatness of what God wants to give me.

To you I give my life
Not just the parts I want to
To You I sacrifice
These dreams that I hold onto

Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice, here’s my life

To You I give the gifts
Your love has given me
How can I hoard the treasures
That You designed for free?

Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice, here’s my life

To You I give my future
As long as it may last
To You I give my present
To You I give my past.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
~Galatians 2:20~
