My song, "I Surrender" is a very powerful song that touches on struggles with pride, forgiveness, kindness (to those who are not kind to us) and a few other convictions. In my relationship with God, like most Christ followers, I have had highs and lows. But regardless of where God leads me, it doesn't matter as long as He is with me. Personally, I believe this is the most beautiful song I have written, because it hits on very strong convictions I have been having in this season with following Jesus more closely.
Lyrics
I can see certain parts of me You're ripping away
Making me more into who You call me to be
Lord it's quite a journey
But there is no other place I'd rather be
No other place I'd rather be
Than in a position to be drawn more close to You
No matter the cost
No matter the challenges I'm faced with
Just as long as I have You by my side
Cause Lord I know You're fighting for me
There is no place I'd rather be
Cause Lord all of this time
I've seen You working things out for good
Even though in the beginning it comes out misunderstood
I've been in the valley
I've been on the mountain
But it doesn't matter where You lead me
Just as long as I have You
I know You've called me for more
So Lord I surrender to You
Lord You are keeping me humble
Learning to be a servant just as You came to serve
With every part of my life make me more like You
Out with the old
In with the new
I want to look more like You
Cause Lord all of this time
I've seen You working things out for good
Even though in the beginning it comes out misunderstood
I've been in the valley
I've been on the mountain
But it doesn't matter where You lead me
Just as long as I have You
I know You've called me for more
So Lord I surrender to You
I surrender
Not my will
But Your will be done
No place I'd rather be
Than in this season with You right here with me
To serve others with kindness
Even the ones who aren't kind to us
To rip away my pride that creeps up and I sometimes try to hide
Rid me of things I haven't let go of
To learn to forgive like You
Lord You are making me into who You called me to be
Cause Lord all of this time
I've seen You working things out for good
Even though in the beginning it comes out misunderstood
I've been in the valley
I've been on the mountain
But it doesn't matter where You lead me
Just as long as I have You
I know You've called me for more
So Lord I surrender to You
Lord continue to work on my Heart
So to the world
I look more like You
Lord I surrender to You
