I Am Yours                                                                                                                Received February 10, 2010 

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, {which is} your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2 NASB 

While preparing to minister at the annual women’s conference for East Paris Baptist Church in Paris, TX, I began asking the Lord if He had a new song – a specific word – for me to deliver to these ladies. It was while meditating that the Lord began to allow me to have a sense of some of the needs I would be ministering to…that HE would be ministering to through me. As often happens, I needed the song as much as those I was bringing it to. Regardless of the triumphs or tragedies of my life, they ALL belong to Jesus because I am His…and He is mine. This is a song of love and praise but also a song of utter surrender, reminding my soul of Who God is and declaring Whose I am in the process…a song of deliverance and surrender.

Verse 

Every loss...Every pain 

Every wound that I have ever sustained 

You have taken! You have taken, God Who restores!

Here I am once again 

Face to face with my Redeemer and Friend! 

I am taken! I am taken! I am Yours!

Chorus 

You are the Potter! I am the clay! 

I was the lost one! You are the Way! 

In sin once forsaken! But now I am taken by the God Who restores!

You are my Father! I am Your child! 

My sin separated but Your blood reconciled! 

From sin now awakened! My heart has been taken! 

Now I am Yours! I am Yours!

Verse 

Every fear...Every doubt 

Eradicated by Your love and its power! 

I am shaken! Deeply shaken right to the core!

In my sin...Wanted me 

Gave Your own life to make me Yours and redeem! 

I am taken! I am taken! I am Yours!

Chorus 

You are the Potter! I am the clay! 

I was the lost one! You are the Way! 

In sin once forsaken! But now I am taken by the God Who restores!

You are my Father! I am Your child! 

My sin separated but Your blood reconciled! 

From sin now awakened! My heart has been taken! 

Now I am Yours! I am Yours!
