Well let's see. I have been playing acoustic guitar for 12 years, or playing "at" it. You decide. Been singing since I learned how to talk. Just finished competing in WCOPA 2010 in LA and it was so neat playing worship songs with other countries and Trinidad! Shout to Jessie and the others in Trinidad- you guys are awesome!

Story behind the song
I am going through Hell 101 in court right now, fighting for my kid. After spending some time totally obsessed with the problem, I have come to the conclusion that I can do absolutely nothing, but turn it over to God- which is exactly what He wanted in the first place.
Lyrics
SURRENDER- Lord I never knew just exactly what you meant when you said He who seeks to save his life must lose it first, and That part about taking up my cross to follow you I never knew what it meant when you said "Not my will but thine" I never understood what you were asking me to do. But I stand here before you today Crying out as the tears flow My heart breaks and I tremble because I Cannot bear the weight of what you ask of me. I picked apart your Word and fit it to my own needs Never thinking for one minute in my mourning for my pride What you wanted me to be. CHORUS: You want me to surrender I never thought that you meant totally You want me to surrender I never thought you meant all I have and all I am. Even the very life of my own child To trust in you and have faith all the while When it looks like I release her to the wolves in the wild You want me to surrender. Lord I never knew how utterly you could lift my load I never even knew the weight of my burden I longed to be free, and yet I was content to be bound But you have made me free, that is for certain. I have struggled and fought, the enemy tortured me I lost all hope, then I stood still I passed through a fire, and Lord you have formed me A new earthen vessel for you to fill CHORUS BRIDGE: Who am I to dictate what blessings you bestow? Who am I to insist that the future is for me to know? Who am I to cry "My God why hast thou forsaken me?" When you were there all along... waiting on me.. to surrender... I surrender all.. I surrender all.. all to thee my blessed Savior, I surrender all...
