No mortal tongue can e'er describe
The freedom of the soul,
When passed beyond all earthly bribe
To God's complete control.
All things are his, yes, life, and death,
Things present or to come;
In Christ he draws in peace each breath,
In Christ he finds his home.

When such as we the King can choose,
To share with Him His throne,
'Tis passing strange that we refuse
To be our Lord's alone.
O never speak of sacrifice!
A privilege untold
Is to be His at any price,
In Calv'ry's hosts enrolled.

Arise! the holy bargain strike—
The fragment for the whole—
All men and all events alike
Must serve the ransomed soul.
All things are yours when you are His,
And He and you are one;
A boundless life in Him there is,
Whence doubt and fear are gone.

Lord Jesus I love You and pray Lord that You make me one who is willing to live to You.

Praise the Lord! Everything is for the Lord, even our life. Amen.

"I am the Lord's..." Praise the Lord for His purpose and move in which we have been included. I'm enjoying that the church life is wonderful but we need to go on to experience the Body life... the reality of the Body for the building up of the Body of Christ. I'm sure glad that I am the Lord's but also I'm encouraged to realize God's goal is the Body built up. O dear Lord, take the steps to usher us all who are in Your recovery to experience the Body life for Your sweet rest and satisfaction... We love You dear Lord Jesus. Amen...

How true. What freedom when we don't love our soul life or the world.

Praise Him! Though He is a King and we are nothing He still choose us. What a privilege untold.

Oh, this is a great song and music. Glory to God!

How wonderful this song is! It remains one of our all-time favorite here in France -- we often just refer to it as "Craig's song" in memory of the brother who first taught it to us. God bless you, Craig -- and brother Bill!

Inspire me to consecrate myself to the Lord now and then. Amen.
