HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK #158 || I GIVE MYSELF AWAY BY WILLIAM McDOWELL || COVER @SHOLEX94

Hello music lovers, welcome to hive open mic world wide live music event week #158 with the theme; Lets defeat the distance. I'll be presenting a song titled "I give myself away" by William McDowell.

Have known this song for awhile now and I love it alot because it's a very powerful song that talks about surrendering oneself to God. It's a good thing to have a good fellowship and intimacy with God.

I could remember the story of Jonah in the Bible someone who God instructed to go to a particular city to evangelize the gospel but went elsewhere, he later went to the initial place but that was after God dealt with him, he learnt his lessons in the hard way.

The same thing with Paul the apostle known as Saul before his change of name, Not until he had a brutal encounter with God, he has been persecuting the Church. After that experience he surrender everything and served God like no other.

We shouldn't wait till we're being punished or forced before we hand over the wheel to God so he can be the controller of our lives.

I hope you'll enjoy my little musical piece. Thanks 🥰

lyrics
I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me
I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me

Here I am
Here I stand
Lord, my life is in your hands
Lord, I'm longing to see
Your desires revealed in me

Take my heart
Take my life
As a living sacrifice
All my dreams all my plans
Lord I place them in your hands
