unreservedly for God

If I was to die today

they cannot say

that I held nothing back

that I lived unreservedly for God

there is sadness in this truth

but I am not dead yet

In whatever time I have

I pray, oh God,

that You would break me

that You would change me

that You would use me

for Your purposes

Help me to drop the veil

the mask of self;

Help me to follow You

and nobody else.
