As I seek after you,
You must sanctify me.
Through joy and through pain;
All must be endured to be with you in the end.
Only by your power can I do such.
Without you, my empty life would crumble,
My body die.
To dust, to ashes,
All to dust and ashes without you.

You fill me and sustain me.
You carry me when I can't walk,
But when I can, I will run with you,
And you alone.
As my heart cries out in pain and loneliness,
You are my comforter.
When I face the trials of life,
You are there to guide me and hold me fast.
To dust, to ashes,
All to dust and ashes without you.

You made and sustain this world.
Yet, I rebelled against you.
You called to me, and, for a time, I did not listen.
When I did, I came and found you, waiting for me,
Ready to receive me back.
In you I found life and love and a new love for life.
I owe you everything.
All to dust and ashes without you.
I give my life to you, Yahweh,
For it would be nothing without you.
