Abandonment

 

Will I ever say- will I ever desire

To yield, yield to the point that christ requires?

Will I ever decide to cross the great divide

Will some time of crisis turn the tide?

My undeteredness for His Holiness

above every other consideration

Is the path that He will bless

There is a gentler way that we may heed

If we would just consider and be freed

absolute and irrevocable

My utmost for His highest

Entirely given to Him and Him alone

My utmost for His highest

My eager desire- in my bones a fire

To yield, yield on the point that He requires

A total surrender of will

That only abandonment instills

absolute and irrevocable

My utmost for His highest

Entirely given to Him and Him alone

My utmost for His highest
