In You
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Lord all I want is more of you;
I want to be counted among the few.
The few who have entered in through the gate,
The few who no longer have to wait.
The sheep you love you sacrifice,
O Lord to you I give my life.
Please take it Father this is my plea,
I lift my soul on high to thee.
Take all of me, my every care,
And lift me out of my despair.
It’s only You who do these things,
In Jesus’ name let freedom ring.
Cast off my chains and shackles too,
Lord I place my trust only in You.
