But, how does one do that? I asked myself this question as I was driving into work this morning. Soon, a familiar song came to mind, and as the lyrics made their way from my brain to my heart, my soul was refreshed and my question was answered...
I'm giving You my heart, all that is within
I lay it all down, for the sake of You my King
To trust Him; fully and completely...
I'm giving You my dreams, laying down my rights
I'm giving up my pride, for the promise of new life
in all things.
And I surrender all to You,
Every area of my life. Every sorrow. Every joy.
all to You
The tears. The laughter. The pain. The peace.
And I surrender all to You,
all to You
In order for one to trust, one must first surrender.
I'm singing You this song, I'm waiting at the cross
All the world holds dear, I count it all as loss
Jesus
For the sake of knowing You, for the glory of Your name
To know the lasting joy, even sharing in Your pain
I trust You.
And I surrender it all to you,
all to You
