this week is the week... i find out about egypt this week. pray for me if you would. i'm praying and wondering and thinking about it a LOT this week. i'm working on surrender. it's hard, ya know? we sang this song at church this weekend... it's my favorite... so i'll share it with you. it's been my aim, my goal, my prayer this week. Lord Jesus, i surrender egypt and next semester and all that goes along with that... to you. :)

i'm giving you my heart
and all that is within
i lay it all down
for the sake of you my King
i'm giving you my dreams
i'm laying down my rights
i'm giving up my pride
for the promise of new life

and i, i surrender
all to you, all to you
and i, i surrender
all to you, all to you

i'm singin' you this song
i'm waiting at the cross
and all the world holds dear
i count it all as loss
for the sake of knowing you
for the glory of your name
to know the lasting joy
even sharing in your pain

and i, i surrender
all to you, all to you
and i, i surrender
all to you, all to you
