Say to Hear

What can I say, Lord, that You want to hear--
to say: "I want more You and less of me,"
to say: "Thy will be done" without much fear,
to say: "You first!" with real humility?

You'll hear me say and pray the prayer You said,
and that my life and death I offer You,
and bleed for You the way for me You bled,
and offer You all I think, say and do.

I'll say thanks to my Audience of One,
I'll say I'm truly sorry when I sin,
and prove the faith I say by deeds I've done,
and have the hope that heaven will help me win.

I know what more You want to hear me say:
"O Lord, I love You here and now today."
