Surrender’s All It Takes

Thought I found a way,
I thought I found a way out,
But You never go away, never leave me stray.
Even after all mistakes, no, You don’t betray,
Surrender’s all it takes.
Thank You, mother, for endless faith,
See the pain you contain, you’re not the one to blame.
He left the house to flames and drove away,
I call out Yahweh.

I see the love You show,
A light that pulls me from the dark.
I see the mercy You bestow,
A holy fire inside my heart.

When all broke, all fell away,
You restored my heart with strength.
Forgive them they don’t know what they do.
So I take a moment now,
I slow it down,
Yeah, You flipped my world around.

Too young to drown, You reached and pulled me out,
When I was breathless, full of doubt.
Built my hope on voices that would fade,
But You stayed the same.
I was searchin’ for a sign in the noise,
Tryna hear Your voice through the ache.
Every tear taught me how to pray,
Every loss showed me grace.

I was runnin’ on empty, faith on thin ice,
Still You called my name.
I was closin’ my heart, You were steady inside,
Sayin’, “child, don’t be afraid.”

When all broke, all fell away,
You restored my heart with strength.
Forgive them they don’t know what they do.
So I take a moment now,
I slow it down,
Yeah, You flipped my world around.

I laid it all down at Your feet,
Every fear I couldn’t defeat.
If this is the cross I carry,
Then I’ll carry it with belief.
I don’t need the world to see,
I just need You walkin’ with me.

Too young to drown, You pulled me out,
My Savior  never will I doubt.
I breathe in, breathe out, and I know,
I’m not alone with You.
I breathe in, breathe out,
Grace surrounds me now.
I was lost, but I’m found,
In Your arms, I’m safe and sound.
