Written 9/3/2007 from Doug Perry - and turned into a song HERE
I want You.
I want You more than I want money.
I want you more than I want fame.
I want you more than I want comfort.
I want you more than I want health.
I want you more than a ministry.
I want you more than reputation.
I want you more than I want children.
I want you more than I want friends.
I want you more than I want parents.
I want you more than I want an earthly spouse.
I want you more than sex or affection.
I want you more than I want freedom.
I want you more than food or water.
I want you more than I want breath.
I want you more than my next heartbeat.
I can't live without you. It hurts to even think about it.
I'm sorry I forget sometimes.
I'm sorry I forget your face.
I'm sorry I forget your mercy.
And forget about your grace.
I'm sorry I forget your provision.
How you meet every one of my needs.
I'm sorry I forget your protection.
And how your hand is always over me.
I'm sorry I forget your boundless love.
I'm sorry I forget your power.
I'm a wretched man. I don't deserve you at all.
Teach me how to submit.
Teach me how to obey.
Teach me how to forgive.
Teach me how to suffer.
Teach me how to believe.
Teach me how to wait.
Teach me how to hear and see.
Teach me how to persevere.
Teach me how to love like you do.
Teach me how to lay down my will.
I lay down my will at Your feet.
I submit my life to You.
You are Lord and King and Master and Husband.
You alone are worthy, Oh Lord.
I'm honored to be Your Bride.
