Father I call on You tonight
Heal my sorrow, chase my fright.
Lord, I cry with voice so small
Am I anything at all?
Your voice answers,
"Yes,
my child,I am meek and I am mild
Come to me and I will soothe,
I will chase that dreary mood."
Lord I still need to be cleansed
I need so much..a loving friend.
Is there, is there anywhere
Human beings who will care?
"No, my daughter, on this earthNone can prove to you your worth.
Only when you've given up
Can I fill your earthly cup."
Lord I'm willing in my strife
Take my longings, take my life.
Lord, I ask You, now, this day
Let me give my life away.
Anguish, sorrow, tears not fitting
Hurts and scars and real self pity
Listless thoughts, unrest and strain
Human needs that just cause pain
Now I wrap them, bundled tight
to release and end tonight.
I surrender, each complete
Lay them all right at Your feet.
Father, as I come tonight
To your mercy, be my light.
My own voice that once was small
Let it shout out, make me tall
Meek and mild, to be like you
There'll be nothing I can't do.
Peace inside and calm without
You are what it's all about.
Lord, tonight I give it up
Come and fill Your child, Your cup.
"Daughter, daughter, we are one.I have given you my Son.
Live and love within my will,
With my Spirit you'll be filled.
