I approach Your throne

Boldly I approach the throne.
I am chained no more. 
The sin that has hindered me no longer can keep me from the presence of my Lord and Savior. 
If I should ask and one thing that I might seek is to spend just one day in your courts. 
I don't need riches or fame or glory or even my name. 
All I need is you, God. 
This life I have is all for you. 
This body, mind, and soul are not my own. 
I surrender them at your feet knowing that you will do so much more with me than I could do on my own. 
Your Holy Spirit guides me. 
Your loving Son supplies me. 
I need nothing else in this world. 
So I run to you. 
No more baggage Lord. 
I let go of my earthly things believing that you're making something beautiful out of me. 
If I give it all to you, will you supply all my needs? 
What kind of father gives a stone when his son asks for bread? 
You and you alone are the source of my life. 
You and only you can make all my wrong ways right. I am no longer my own but I have been crucified with Christ. 
And what does that even mean? 
That I don't have an identity outside the one bestowed upon me by you. 
You have called me. 
You have pulled me out of the miry clay. 
You have rescued me out of the pit of despair. 
And now that the storm is over and that the seas have calmed, I can climb this mountain proclaiming the goodness of my God. 
I might not know a lot of things but this one thing is for sure, it is better to live life with you, Lord. 
So send me out. 
Send me to places that need to hear the good news. 
Send me to lands that are hungry for the gospel. 
Take me out of my comfortability and drop me into someplace that really just needs you. 
Let the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight. 
Let my words be true. 
If they're from you, they've got to be.
