Here's a song I wrote about giving your whole heart to God the Father. It's basically three snapshots from the Bible of what this looks like. David defeated the giant, the disciples followed Jesus, and the ultimate submission to the Father's will was Jesus laying down his life for us.
Lyrics:
Father please take my heart
So every beat... will glorify You
A boy went down to the battle line
He asked the men hey what's going on
As thunder rolled across the valley
They said a giant man is defying God
With a fearless heart the boy became a man
And won the war with just a sling in hand
A leap of faith, amazing grace,
David found his place in the heart of God
Father please take my heart
So every beat... will glorify You
Father please take my mind
So every thought... will honor You
They were out on the water
Everyday in the salt, sun, and wind
When a teacher came like no other
He said follow me it's time to fish for men
So they dropped their nets and everything they had
They left it all no turning back
A leap of faith, amazing grace,
they found their place in the Son of Man
Father please take my heart
So every beat... will glorify You
Father please take my mind
So every thought... will honor You
Father please take my eyes
So I can see Your grace.. in everyone
The sky went black and the mountains shook
His blood poured out the people couldn't bare to look
He walked this earth so that we could live
A sacrifice of a perfect life
He could barely speak His breath was all but gone
He said forgive them all...it is finally done
With a leap of faith, and amazing grace,
Jesus took His place as the lamb of God
My Jesus took His place as the lamb of God
