I surrender, Lord, all I have and hold

End of fourth Week of Ingatius

Take my heart, O Lord, take my hopes and dreams,

Take my mind with all its plans and schemes.

Give me nothing more than your love and grace.

These alone, O God, are enough for me.

Take my thoughts, O Lord, and my memory.

Take my tears, my joys, my liberty.

Give me nothing more than your love and grace.

These alone, O God, are enough for me.

I surrender, Lord, all I have and hold.

I return to you your gifts untold.

Give me nothing more than your love and grace.

These alone, O God, are enough for me.

When the darkness falls on my final days,

Take the the very breath that sang your praise.

Give me nothing more than your love and grace.

These alone, O God, are enough for me.
