A song about surrendering to the One who gave it all for me.......the ultimate gift......His life. (Mark Courter on lead guitar)
Let's just call it a "Cyber Ministry"!!!!
Story behind the song
When I truly began to seek His kingdom first, and to seek a personal relationship with Him through prayer and meditation on His word; I realized there was no way I could ever re-pay what He had done for me. He had given His life so that I could have new life here on this earth, and eternal life with Him. When it really gets down deep into your spirit and soul that you are known by Him and that He cares for you, there is a freedom and a peace that cannot be described in any language; it is truly "new life". It's like your eyes are opened to see eternity, and it's your's to spend with Him forever; no matter what you've done. There is release from this world and it's pain and you realize that you are not alone, but that there is a God, your heavenly Father, who is with you every step of the way and who will NEVER leave you or cast you away. It's when you realize these things that you will want to surrender your life to Him, and so much more. But thank God that His love for me is not dependant on what I can give back to Him...........because all He really wants.............is me and you. Praise Him. Put your trust today in the One who gave His life for you......Jesus.
Lyrics
I SURRENDER
©2006 Duane Rod
I surrender I surrender
In submission to You, I give up my desires
And You purify me by Your refining fire
In sweet surrender I lay down my life
Consume me Lord, take this sacrifice
I surrender I surrender
I ask You Father in the name of Your Son
Not mine Lord, but Your will be done
My selfish will is empty and hollow
So I give it to You, and Your’s I will follow
CHORUS
You gave us Your Son, the sacrificial Lamb
Now I give back all that I am
Take me, make me what You want me to be
I surrender to You, because You died for me
I surrender I surrender
Precious Jesus I ask that You take me now
And give me new life as before You I bow
I surrender my sin, my guilt and shame
And I receive You in my heart, in Jesus’ Name
