Covenant Renewal

The first Sunday of the year my church holds a Covenant renewal service. This is the Covenant Renewal we come together and recite as a Body of Believers: 

I am no longer my own, but yours, 
Put me to what you will,
Place me with whom you will.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering; 
Let me be employed for you or laid aside for you,
Exalted for you or brought low for you.
Let me be full, let me be empty; 
Let me have all things, let me have nothing. 
I freely and heartily yield all things
To your pleasure and disposal.

And now, O glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit:
You are mine and I am yours. May it be so!

And may the covenant which I have made here on earth
Be confirmed in heaven. 
Amen.
