I Am The Lord's

I Am The Lord's
Words by Lucy A. Bennett.  Music by

I am the Lord's!  O joy beyond expression,
O sweet response to voice of love Divine;
Faith's joyous "Yes" to the assuring whisper,
"Fear not! I have redeemed thee; thou art Mine."

I am the Lord's!  It is the glad confession
Wherewith the Bride recalls the happy day,
When love's "I will" accepted Him forever,
"The Lord's" to love, to honor and obey.

I am the Lord's!  Yet teach me all it meaneth,
All it involves of love and loyalty,
Of holy service, absolute surrender,
And unreserved obedience unto Thee.

I am the Lord's!  Yes, body, soul and spirit,
O seal them irrecoverably Thine;
As Thou, Beloved, in Thy grace and fullness
Forever and forevermore art mine.
