God has brought me to a place of decision: complete surrender to Him or continuing on myself blindly grasping for control. I have chosen surrender to His will...after being broken in every area of my life. The sweetness in surrender and the peace that comes after you choose to give Him everything--surpasses my understanding. I am so inadequate to accomplish anything good in this life. His power and grace flowing through me is what I desire...to be used for His glory.
These songs adequately express a lot of what I am thinking and feeling lately. I cannot write much now, but heard them and thought it would do a better job than any of my own words.

This Road
A million miles away from anything familiar
A thousand places I would rather be
So I choke back the tears and try to find the bright side
Though I find it hard to see beyond my suffering

In my heart I know your plan is so much bigger
But this small part is all that I can see
And I believe you haven't left me here to wander
Still I can't help but ponder where you're leading me

(Chorus)
And I ask why this road
Why this way
And this load
Tell me how far must I go
Till I see, till I know
Why this road

A million miles away from anything familiar
What was it like to be so far from home
Though you came in love
The world misunderstood you
There must have been some days when you felt so alone

But you endured, cause there was joy before you
Joy that came because you sacrificed
Since you gave yourself just to spend forever with me
Surely I can trust you'll lead me through my darkest times
When I ask why....

(Chorus)
And I ask why this road
Why this way
And this load
Tell me how far must I go
Till I see, till I know
Why this road

From here I can not see
Why you'd choose this path for me
But I don't have to understand to believe
That you know why

You know why this road
Why this way, and this load
You know how far I must go
Till I see, Till I know
Why this road

All I want to do
All I want to do, is give this life to You
And let Your will be done, until it's all I want to do.

How does doubt slip in, so silently?
And why does condemnation come so naturally?
Why do I still get the best of me?
Loving so little and living so selfishly?

When all I want to do, is give this life to You.
All I want to do is give this life to You,
and let Your will be done until it's all I want to do.

What have I been given by Your grace?
Will I come to understand this mystery I embrace?
Make of me a new creation now,
Fill me with all you are and be all I am somehow.

'Cuz all I want to do is give this life to You.
All I want to do is give this life to You.
And let Your will be done, 'til it's all I want to do.

Faith so fragile
Reaching for Your hand

All I want to do is give this life to You,
and let your will be done, til it's all I want to do.
