I Give Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Take my life and let it be Consecrated, Lord ,to Thee
