My everything is nothing.

Your love surrounds me like a blanket
I am enveloped in the cloak of Your grace.
I try to please You, then I fail.
I try again, then fail again, then try, and fail --
It never stops.
How do I escape this endless cycle?
By relying on Your unfailing faithfulness.
This, too, I fail to do.
I never cease to sin!!

There is nothing in this world that I can rely on
Nothing I can trust --
No one I can crumble to
Except for You, O LORD.
Upon my hands and knees once more
I surrender to Your will
Like I never have before.
Take my life, Lord, as You please
Do what You will with me, to me,
It matters not, for I am Yours.
There's truly nothing more I want --
Than striving to please You.
My heart's contrite -- it really is.
So use me, Lord I pray.
Just help me leave my life of sin
And submit wholly to You.
