Enjoyment from the 2020 Online NACT!
Written by Jacob Freeman

1
A separated one I long to be 
A freewill offering to You 
A volunteer to serve You faithfully, 
To linger in Your presence, Lord 
And feed upon Your living Word
     
Chorus
My Lord, You are the richest grace
     The sweetest love,
     My strength and song. 
     I long to live before Your face—
     A life above—All my life long. 
 
2
Lord, separate me now from everything
Related to the world’s joy. 
I would abstain from every earthly joy
Not sourced in You. You are my joy!
Cleanse now my heart from all alloy. 
 
3
You are the Head with all authority  
I’d follow You and serve You too,
Obeying and awaiting Your commands,
Submitting to Your word, all still. 
Subdue me now, make Yours my will. 
 
4
I long for life to flow within my being,
So I would separate from death
And its contamination all around.
I would be swallowed up by life,
Preserved and free from deathly strife. 
 
5
I take this vow: I give myself to You. 
I volunteer myself for You
To use—How great Your need!—I offer all,
And offer to You solemnly. 
I count the cost—paid willingly.

Singing hymns to You makes my spirit be fresher
