LIFE Worship - Cast Myself Completely Lyrics
Lyrics
In brokenness I must accept
That I cannot pay my own debt
I have no good no righteousness
That I can bring to You
So here I am abandoned
Reliant on Your grace alone
Freely and wholly given
I will cling to You
So I cast myself completely
Completely at the mercy of Your love
And I hold fast to Your promise
All I need to live was given at Your cross
Jesus You have me
I cast myself completely
Jesus You have me
I am Yours alone
All I have is my surrender
All I have is yes and Your amen
Your beauty rends me helpless
I can't go back again
For King and kingdom come
For all that's yet to come
Until Your sweet return
I cast myself completely

Meaning & Inspiration
"Cast Myself Completely," a powerful track from LIFE Worship's 2016 live album, *Wide Open Space*, immediately immerses the listener in a profound declaration of dependence. This isn't just a song; it's a spiritual manifesto, born from the understanding that our own efforts fall woefully short in the face of divine perfection. The central theme resonates deeply with the biblical truth found in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." The lyrics articulate a humble acceptance of personal brokenness and the inability to earn salvation, echoing the sentiment of Isaiah 64:6: "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags." This stark honesty paves the way for the song's ultimate message of surrender, a complete casting of oneself upon the boundless mercy and grace of God.
The core of "Cast Myself Completely" lies in its unreserved trust in God's love and the finished work of the cross. The repeated refrain, "So I cast myself completely / Completely at the mercy of Your love," isn't a passive resignation but an active, faith-filled decision. It speaks to the profound realization articulated in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The promise held fast is the assurance of provision and redemption, all secured through Christ's sacrifice. The declaration, "All I need to live was given at Your cross," is a direct testament to the sufficiency of Christ's atoning work, a theme woven throughout the New Testament, particularly in passages like Hebrews 10:14: "For by one sacrifice, he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." The song powerfully conveys that our only offering is our surrendered will, our "yes" to God's perfect plan, as illuminated by passages like 2 Corinthians 1:20, "For in him every one of God’s promises is a ‘Yes.’ And so through him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God." The beauty of God's love is so overwhelming that it leaves one utterly undone, unable to return to a state of self-reliance, a sentiment that aligns with the transformative power described in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" Ultimately, "Cast Myself Completely" is an inspiring anthem for the church, a powerful reminder to anchor our hope not in our own capabilities, but in the unwavering, all-sufficient love and redemptive power of Jesus Christ, looking forward to His glorious return.
