surrender

Surrender ...

Let me be the broken bread
Separated in Your hands
Given out to feed a hungry world
With you.

Let the jar of my heart be smashed
Broken into fragments
That my secret dreams may be spilled
To become the perfume of Christ.

Let me wrestle with You
Stretching my self-will
To the point of weakness
Till I am lamed into admitting
My utter need of You.

And let me stay there
On the altar
Till Your great work is accomplished
Making room for you in me.
