I am yours
Joe Mettle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my life and let it be
Concentrated Lord for thee
Take my moment and my days
Let them flow in ceaseless praise
Praise, praise, praise (all)
My souls lust for you
My heart desire is to be in your presence
All the days of my life
For you are the way, the truth and the life
Without you lord, I have no life
So take my life and let it be
I am yours (Uuu ooo)
I am yours (Search my heart)
I am yours (Take my will, my soul, my everything)
I am yours
The things I dont wonna do
I do them everyd-a-y
But things i wonna do
I find so hard to do
Teach me how to talk like you
Teach me how to walk like you
Teach me how to act like you, Jesus
I need your l-o-v-e uuu ee
Repeat 2x
Alright
I dedicate my life
As a living sacrifice
Take my life and let it be
Concentrated Lord for you
The song "I Am Yours" by Joe Mettle is a soulful and worshipful song that expresses the singer's longing to be in the presence of God. The interlude of the song starts with the singer offering his life to God and asking Him to take full control of it. The singer then expresses his desire to be in God's presence every day of his life, as he recognizes that without God, he has no life. The interlude ends with the repeated phrase "I am yours" as a declaration of complete surrender to God.
The second part of the song begins with an allusion to the biblical passage that compares the longing of a deer for water to the soul's longing for God. The singer speaks of his heart's desire to be in God's presence, acknowledging that God is the way, the truth, and the life. He then confesses his weaknesses, admitting that he finds it hard to do the things he wants to do and asking God to teach him how to talk, act, and walk like Him. The singer concludes the song by dedicating his life as a living sacrifice to God, asking Him to take full control of it.
This song is not only a powerful expression of worship, but it also emphasizes the importance of surrendering one's life to God and allowing Him to guide and direct one's steps. The singer's honesty in recognizing his weaknesses and shortcomings also encourages listeners to acknowledge their own need for God's help and guidance.
