Lyrics:
I knew exactly how I wanted my own life to go;
No heartaches, no failures,
No disappointments to unfold.
But God had a different plan
For what life would bring my way.
And although I may not understand,
I can trust the Lord and say:

“Here’s my life;
I surrender
All my plans and all my dreams
That I thought were best for me.
Use my life
For Your glory.
Take the pen from my hand,
And write out Your story.”
And although I may never fully understand,
I want to be willing to say,
“Lord, here’s my life.”

You may be struggling
With trials of your own.
You cannot see God’s plan for you;
You feel so all alone.
Oh, but God’s way is perfect.
He guides each step you take.
And although it’s hard to see it now,
You can trust the Lord and say:

“Here’s my life;
I surrender
All my plans and all my dreams
That I thought were best for me.
Use my life
For Your glory.
Take the pen from my hand,
And write out Your story.”
And although I may never fully understand,
I want to be willing to say,
“Lord, here’s my life.”

Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Here’s my life;
I surrender
All my plans and all my dreams
That I thought were best for me.
Use my life
For Your glory.
Take the pen from my hand,
And write out Your story.”
And although I may never fully understand,
I want to be willing to say,
“Lord, here’s my life.
