Surrender

Lyrics

I stand in the silence,

letting every defense fall.

Like a city with broken walls,

I offer up my all.

The striving and the endless fight,

the burden that I've known so long.

'Be still, and know that I am God,'

the whisper starts to feel so strong.

Surrender, I surrender all.

My striving heart, my restless soul.

At the foot of the cross, I lay it down,

beneath Your mercy's gentle crown.

Like the prodigal, I come undone,

no longer needing to outrun.

In weakness, I find where I belong,

in surrender, I finally am strong.

I remember chasing after winds,

the fleeting treasures I held dear.

But what does it profit to gain the world,

when peace is nowhere near?

The weight of trying to control,

the illusion I was ever in charge.

Now I release my weary hold,

and rest my spirit large.

Surrender, I surrender all.

My striving heart, my restless soul.

At the foot of the cross, I lay it down,

beneath Your mercy's gentle crown.

Like the prodigal, I come undone,

no longer needing to outrun.

In weakness, I find where I belong,

in surrender, I finally am strong.

'My grace is sufficient for you,'

the promise echoes in the air.

No longer bound by what I do,

but by Your love and gentle care.

I surrender all.

I surrender all.

I surrender all.

I surrender all.

I surrender all.

I surrender all.
