2005

All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before You, O Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them Yours

Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through
Use it for Your glory
Lord, I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice
Lord, I offer You my life

Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You

What can we give that You have not given
What do we have that is not already Yours
All we possess are these lives we're living
And that's what we give to You, Lord

-- "I Offer My Life" by Claire Cloninger and Don Moen

You'd be hard pressed to find a better song -- to dedicate the coming year to God -- than this one.

This is my prayer for the coming year. I know that along the way, my priorities may get messed up, but I hope that it will always come down to this: my life in God's hands.

A blessed year ahead, to each and every one of you. :)
