I'm Yours Lord
Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee
Everything I've got
Everything I am
Everything I'm not.
I'm yours Lord
Try me now and see
See if I can be
Completely yours.
My life and my love
You hold in your hand
And I'll gladly devote
And enjoy your command.
Now, I know it's not much
Your gift to repay
But its all that I got
And it's all I can say.
I'm yours Lord
Everything I got
Everything I am
Everything I'm not.
I'm yours Lord
Try me now and see
See if I can be
Completely yours.
You put it aside
Desire to belong
And join in your strength
Unless we become strong.
With that thought in mind
I reach for the sky
And I lift up my voice
And read out the signs.
I'm yours Lord
Everything I've got
Everything I am
Everything I'm not.
I'm yours Lord
try me now and see
See if I can be
Completely yours.
I'm yours Lord
Everything I've got
Everything I am
Everything I'm not.
I'm yours Lord
Try me now and see
See if I can be
Completely yours...
I'm Yours Lord
Brenda Lee's 1965 recording of 'I'm Yours Lord' stands as a defining example of her transition from teen idol to mature soul interpreter. Released during a pivotal era for female vocalists, the track showcases her ability to blend gospel-inflected phrasing with pop sensibilities, a hallmark of her later work on albums like Memphis Portrait. The song reflects the spiritual and emotional depth that characterized her post-teen repertoire, distinguishing her from contemporaries who remained strictly within the pop format. Lee's delivery on this track highlights her vocal versatility and her commitment to exploring more serious musical themes, cementing her legacy as a significant figure in mid-1960s American music.
