Off the map

by Joel Howard

Hands open on my lap

I mark my spot here, off the map

All my attempts

To fight this lack

Come back empty

And I fight back

Try to please

Pursue and do

But really who

I fight is You

Open my will

Jesus to You

Who paid it all

Through and through

Hands open

God, to You

Receive me now

As I receive You

Receive me now

As I do You

You love me

And I do too

I say: Amen!

Well done!

Thank you!

I'm off the map

But home here with You
