I Give Up
I belong, I belong
To the maker of earth and seas
Who's as rich as a king
Yet so gentle and kind towards me
I am not cared for by a servant hired
But a shepherd who would leave the ninety-nine
So when I give up, I gain
When I let go of having my own way
When I learn to see my surrender as a brand new start
To know the fullness of my father's heart
I will rest, I will rest
Not in worldly security
Not in what I may try to control that's controlling me
What if faith is simpler than I've made it be
Just a simple trusting in your love for me
For when I give up, I gain
When I let go of having my own way
When I learn to see my surrender as a brand new start
To know the fullness of my father's heart
My father's heart
So here's my life to take
Though you've heard this prayer a thousand other days
Make this moment more than just empty words I say
Let it be a start
To know the fullness of my father's heart
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated Lord, to thee
To the maker of earth and seas
Who's as rich as a king
Yet so gentle and kind towards me
I am not cared for by a servant hired
But a shepherd who would leave the ninety-nine
So when I give up, I gain
When I let go of having my own way
When I learn to see my surrender as a brand new start
To know the fullness of my father's heart
I will rest, I will rest
Not in worldly security
Not in what I may try to control that's controlling me
What if faith is simpler than I've made it be
Just a simple trusting in your love for me
For when I give up, I gain
When I let go of having my own way
When I learn to see my surrender as a brand new start
To know the fullness of my father's heart
My father's heart
So here's my life to take
Though you've heard this prayer a thousand other days
Make this moment more than just empty words I say
Let it be a start
To know the fullness of my father's heart
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated Lord, to thee
