Live For You
My anguished heart
Laid bare for You
As morning dawns
Now sings to You/
With heart bowed down
In humble praise
I raise my hands
Receive Your grace/
Entrust my heart
My life, my all
I give to You
Surrenders call/
To honor You
My whole life through
My highest praise,
To live for You.
My highest praise,
To live for You.

Yielded
I am yielded and free
Come pour Your love over me
I am yielded and free
Come pour your life over me/
No one can take my life
I give it willingly
No one can make me see
Thy Spirit who dwells in me/
God in me, filling me
Jesus, Lord over me
Spirit, creating in me
New life, gifted in Thee (repeat)/
I am yielded and free
Come pour Your love over me
I am yielded and free
Come pour Your life over me/
Yielded, free in Thee
Oh Jesus, yielded in Thee

A New Song
A song of triumph, a song of might
A song of glory in His delight
A song of faith, sent from above
A song anew, His faithful love/
My journey filled with arrows sharp
Firm bow arms limber, my Father taught
Unaware of life, my training ground
Would yield such strength, a victor’s crown/
My journey long, the valleys deep
Sometimes lonely, often weak
My path was lit, His Word my light
His promise sure, His power my might/
The spoil before me, a great reward
To Him this triumph, to heavens roar!
His Way, His Truth, His Life we prove
The One Most Holy, The One Most True/
A song of triumph, a song of might
A song of glory in His delight
A song of faith sent from above
A song anew, His faithful love
Give My Life Away
Copyright 2012, Loretta J. Willis
Dreams of the life I wanted
Acclaim for the pursuits I deserved
Success from the road I traveled
My destiny clinched, a road alone/
Then life took over
Dreams forced into vapor uncontrolled
The price of incurable wounds
Success trampled the best of my soul/
Now alone with my Maker
This path brought me before
The God of success reached down and rescued me
Led me to His Fame forevermore/
Now I give my life away
His path I choose, His footsteps I follow
He is my dream, He is my fame
The acclaim I sought before
Now I Know

You gave me life, I took for granted
With every breath, my heart distanced
I took this gift, took the credit
My life used up for me
Your outstretched arms, Your mercy free
Your steadfast love, never ending
God in me, my life in Thee
Now I know, its God in me
You gave me life, I bow my knees
Surrendered now and always will be
I take this gift to Your glory be
Offered up in praise to Thee
Your outstretched arms, Your mercy free
Your steadfast love, never ending
God in me, my life in Thee
Now I know, its God in me
I Belong To You
Copyright 2012, Loretta J. Willis
I belong to You
Let me come to You
With all my heart, with all my might
I belong to You
In my walk through this life
I became enticed with myself
Lost in the distraction of cares
Now in my walk through life
May I remain enticed with You
Abandoned in Your life
May I find my life in You
Commit to loving You
Submitting to Your loving care (repeat)
I belong to You
Let me come to You
With all my heart, with all my might
Lord, I belong to You
