Dare Nineteen: Reaching the end of me

The dare: “Look back over the dares from previous days.  Were there some that seemed impossible to you?  Have you realized your need for God to change your heart and to give you the ability to love?  Ask Him to show you where you stand with Him, and ask for the strength and grace to settle your eternal destination.”

All I can say about the effect of this dare on my heart is expressed in this song that I wrote as God called me to accept his love into every part of my heart and life.

Grasping for You

I’m down on my knees

I’ve reached the end of me

I’ve done all I can do

I’m nothing without you

Take me to the cross

It’s the starting place

At the foot of the cross

I surrender me to you

I’ve been blinded by my labors

Pressing forward on my own

After all this time of doing

I found myself alone

Take me to the cross

It’s the starting place

At the foot of the cross

I surrender me to you

Abase me for your name

Pour me out for your glory

Empty out my life

Dwell in me today

Take me to the cross

I abandon all I am

I’ve let go of all I’m grasping for

I’m grasping for you
