ALL I HAVE AND ALL I AM is Yours
There’s nothing that I have on earth that doesn’t come from You
I lay aside my pride and worldly worth
To serve You is the greatest thing that I could ever do.
For unless You build this house
I am building it in vain
Unless the work is Yours
There is nothing to be gained
I want something that will stand
When Your Holy fire comes
Something that will last
And to hear You say “Well done”
Giving Glory to You Lord
Glory to You Lord
So easy to desire what others have
Instead of seeing all the gifts that You have given me
So help me fan the flame which You began
And burn in me a love for You that all will clearly see
