YOURS I AM, YOURS I WANT TO BE. by Alph N. Igattah — Lyrics

CHORUS Yours I am, yours I want to be. Lord Jesus, do with me whatever you will. VERSE 1 I can't do without you, my Lord Jesus, please hasten to blot out my sins. Against you alone, and heaven, have I sinned. Please wash me, O Lord with the water from your side. VERSE 2 The wicked ones have surrounded me. They plot my death every day and night. Oh Lord do not leave your servant alone

About YOURS I AM, YOURS I WANT TO BE.

"Yours I Am, Yours I Want To Be" is a gentle, deeply personal prayer of surrender. From the opening notes of the chorus, the choir leads the congregation into a space of quiet trust, offering a simple but profound declaration to Christ. It is the kind of piece that settles the heart, stripping away distractions to focus entirely on giving oneself over to God's will.

The verses walk through different moments of the spiritual life—asking for mercy and cleansing, seeking protection from harm, and inviting Jesus to make His dwelling place within the soul. When the choir sings, "Come take possession of my body and soul, and enkindle in me the fire of your love," it resonates as a powerful act of consecration.

Because of its intimate, reflective tone, this song is especially beautiful during Communion or periods of Eucharistic Adoration. It gives the congregation a voice for their own private prayers, allowing the harmony of the choir loft to carry their quietest intentions to the altar.
