Sweet Surrender

You give hope when we reach the end of ourselves.

You give purpose when our own agenda fails.

You give peace when our world has come undone.

You use the impossible to display your power and love.

I surrender my life to You

No other satisfaction will do

You carry my burdens and impress upon my heart.

Your Word and promises are true.

Your Embrace

When the crown turns into thorns

And the payment owed

Is more than I have to give

When my trials find me on my knees

And failures make each day so hard to live

I look to my Savior

Grateful I am His

When a mountain top is reached

And blessings shower down all over me

I stand in awe

Your grace too much to bear

Overwhelming joy mine to declare

I look to my Savior

Grateful He brought me here

What a Joy

Shout for joy

You speak to me

You answer my prayers

Sing it out loud

You, my Savior, are my friend

You carry me and teach me

Leading me home til the end

Beyond comprehension

Too great for words

Your love is amazing

What a joy to know you, my Lord

On a cross

You died for me

With my life

May I bring glory to Thee

May I sing You a song

With all of my heart

Praising You tenderly

I bow before Your throne

Beyond comprehension

Too great for words

Your love is amazing

What a joy to know you, my Lord

You are my Creator

Creator of all things

You hold me in Your arms

And bless me beyond measure

You are intimate and Holy

And You know my name

You’ve made me Your child

And I’m forever Yours

Beyond comprehension

Too great for words

Your love is amazing

What a joy to know you, my Lord

Alone Together

When I see You, nothing else matters

When I feel You, the rest of the world disappears

When You gently whisper to me

Contentment replaces all my fears

Let me hear Your voice

Let me feel Your embrace

Let it just be me and You today
