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
