Fading Light

In the fading light of day,
set aside, Your glory lay
abandoned, no, surrendered
to a people "not Your own."

But the promise You had made
entailed this price that You would pay
abandoned, no, surrendered
to claim all people as "Your own."

In the fading light today
I see my glory and my shame
abandoned, no, surrendered
to You, the God I call my own.

Because the promise that You made
calls me to give my life away,
abandoned, no, surrendered
for You to use just as Your own.
