i am not my own

Hebrews 4:16: Let us therefore come BOLDLY to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

i am Yours

i boldly walk to Your throne
not because i am anything
but because You have told me “come”
and as i approach You
i know
i am not my own

i am Yours, my Maker

invited into Your presence
i stand alone before You
unhidden and helpless and unafraid
knowing You are faithful
knowing
i am not my own

i am Yours, my Father

You promise refuge for the needy
i have come
You promise peace for the restless
i have come
You promise hope for the broken
i have come

i melt in Your open hand
i am like water
threatening to flow through the hole in Your palm
but You are solid
i am Yours, my Rock

i find myself before You
in a crumpled heap
feeble knees bowed and shaking hands laying face up
but You are power
i am Yours, my Strength

oh, let me remember
let me humbly rejoice
Your love will never relent
i am Yours, my Savior

oh, let me remember
let me cling and rest in You
You never change
You never change
i am Yours, my Keeper

i boldly walk to Your throne
in need of mercy
in need of grace
i fall at Your feet with no words
but open, empty hands
wanting only to be filled by You

because Father, Jesus, Spirit
i am not my own
i am Yours
