Suscipe
Surrendering to Divine Love: Suscipe by Luke D. Rosen and OCP Choir
Lyrics
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty
Offering one's liberty to the Lord, surrendering personal freedom.
My memory, understanding, and my entire will
Surrendering memory, understanding, and will to the divine.
All I have and call my own
Offering everything owned and considered as personal possessions.
You have given all to me
Acknowledging that everything received is a gift from the Lord.
To you, Lord, I return it
Returning all received gifts to the Lord, recognizing divine generosity.
Everything is yours
Expressing the understanding that everything ultimately belongs to the Lord.
Do with it what you will
Yielding to the divine will, allowing the Lord to determine the use of possessions.
Give me only your love and your grace
Seeking only the Lord's love and grace as the ultimate desire.
That is enough for me
Contentment with the Lord's love and grace as sufficient.
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty
Reiteration of the surrender of personal freedom to the Lord.
My memory, understanding, and my entire will
Reaffirming the surrender of memory, understanding, and will to the divine.
All I have and call my own
Renewing the commitment to offer everything owned to the Lord.
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty
Further emphasis on surrendering personal freedom to the Lord.
My memory, understanding, and my entire will
Continuing to surrender memory, understanding, and will to the divine.
All I have and call my own
Reiterating the commitment to offer all possessions to the Lord.
You have given all to me
Acknowledging the Lord's generosity in providing everything.
To you, Lord, I return it
Returning all received gifts to the Lord as an act of gratitude.
Everything is yours
Acknowledging that everything in existence belongs to the Lord.
Do with it what you will
Granting permission to the Lord to determine the use of possessions.
Give me only your love and your grace
Expressing the sole desire for the Lord's love and grace.
That is enough for me
Affirming that the Lord's love and grace are sufficient and fulfilling.
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty
Repeating the act of surrendering personal freedom to the Lord.
My memory, understanding, and my entire will
Reiterating the surrender of memory, understanding, and will to the divine.
All I have and call my own
Renewing the commitment to offer everything owned to the Lord.
