God-Focused

I lay down my life. I take up my cross. I die daily.
I will not be offended. Lord change me.

Set me free. Break the chains. No more bondage.
It's only You and me.

It's not about what anyone else thinks or says or does.
I am not defined by afflictions.
I am defined by who God says I am.

I am free! The chains are gone.
I bow down. I lift others up.

Forgive me Lord, for being so focused on my own desperation
that I could not see the needs of others.
Make me God-focused. Let me see as You see.

Help me to love those who are hard to love.
I give myself completely to you. I am wholly Yours.
