Surrender

Lord, my God, I pray to commit my life fully to you

As I come to surrender my whole life, accepting this very truth 

I cease to be anxious or worried with panic, drowned in my own fears

I choose for You to guide me so that my eyes can be opened and clear

 

I trust in you completely in thought word and deed

Please take away my pride, idolatry and needs

For all I need is you as I must find my decrease

In giving You all my worship, so that in my life You increase

 

You are Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the one true God above

Teach me how to grow in peace, resting in Your love

Show me how to sacrifice as I pick up my cross

Without You I just cannot be, I feel so scared and lost

 

Father, let it be Your will, whatever path You’d choose

I plead for Your divine direction, as sin would have me lose. 

Be it blessings, joy, and happiness that You’d bestow on me

Or sorrow, pain, and suffering, I accept it as decreed 

 

The path of least resistance is the broad path straight to hell

I’ve been on it for so long, I know it very well

Yet, surrendering my life to You, the narrow path I take

With trust in Thee, eternally, Your love that I partake 

 

Lord, give me wisdom to discern the glory road to You

By having faith, hope, and trust, surrendering to Your view

I know it well, yet cannot tell, distractions all the time

But, surrender to Almighty God, be foremost in my mind

 

I turn to You, O blessed One, to carry me through the deep

Layers upon layers of darkness that I keep

And then Your light, with Thine reply, gives breath to me once more

I give my life to You, complete, to worship and adore

 

Thank You for Your grace and love, Your blessings, mercy too

Thank you for the guidance given, humbling and true

Thank you for Your steadfast love, Your sacrifice on the cross

Without Your love, I can’t exist, I count it all as loss
