Lyrics
What do I do with my past?
What do You want me to learn?
I know I need to let it go
before my life can move forward again.
But before this life can move forward
I must…
surrender my self,
surrender my need;
I must surrender my self on my knees.
I must surrender my hopes,
and surrender my fears;
I must surrender my hopeless tears
to the One who surrendered
for me.
I am in awe of Your Magnificent Ways.
I bow down and humbly pray,
“Will You bless me, oh, I want to be used.”
But, to show others the Glory in You,
I must…
surrender my self,
surrender my need;
I must surrender my self on my knees.
I must surrender my hopes,
and surrender my fears;
I must surrender my hopeless tears
to the One who surrendered for me.
I want to surrender my need for revenge,
and give my worries to God instead;
to seek forgiveness, meekness and grace,
‘cuz only in You, Lord, can my life be saved…
Only in You, Dad(dy)…
If I…
surrender my self,
surrender my need;
I must surrender my self on my knees.
I must surrender my hopes,
and surrender my fears;
I must surrender my hopeless tears.
Surrender to Your Will;
I must surrender to Your Will for…
me.
