I’ve been going through a period of intense song writing recently. This particular song was written on February 22-23, 2011. I wanted to deliberately write something up tempo as I sometimes worry that my songs end up sounding the same. I also wanted that song to be a praise song. I started with the theme of oneness with God. I’ve come to believe that the reason nothing can separate us from God is that God is the spark that gives us everything including life itself. God took over and here is the result.
God bless you!
May you recognize God’s blessing in your life today and always!
John
Wholly Yours
Indivisible, inseparable, unified, I’m one with God
My heart’s at ease, my soul’s at peace, satisfied with what I’ve got
Wholly yours, Holy Lord, I’ve finally found my way
Help me be, your hands, oh God, as I live through this day
Raise your voice up high, praise his holy name
Give yourself to God, you will never be the same
Place your feet on the path that leads to God alone
Walk in faith, feel his grace welcome you home
Unbelievable, unknowable, unexplained, mysterious
Yet reachable, beseechable, he’s always right with us
Wholly yours, Holy Lord, reach down to take my hand
Walk with me, along the roads, you traveled as a man.
Raise your voice up high, praise his holy name
Give yourself to God, you will never be the same
Place your feet on the path that leads to God alone
Walk in faith, feel his grace welcome you home
Immeasurable, uncountable, far beyond our wildest dreams
Yet you find time to spend with each and everyone, it seems
Wholly yours, Holy Lord, you listen to my prayers
And answer them in your own time, I know you’re always there
Raise your voice up high, praise his holy name
Give yourself to God, you will never be the same
Place your feet on the path that leads to God alone
Walk in faith, feel his grace welcome you home
