Here I surrender, lay down every weight

Remember Your love has broken all my chains

What You have finished cannot be undone

The work of the cross was more than enough

[Chorus]

I've been set free, I've been set free

Sin has no hold, shame has no power over me

Found in Your mercy, I've been washed clean

You call me whole, saved and redeemed

I've been set free

[Verse 2]

There is a promise written in Your scars

I am forgiven, changed by who You are

What You have finished, I will not forget

Oh, I'm buried with Christ, I'm raised from the dead

All to Jesus I surrender

All to Him I freely give

I will ever love and trust Him

In His presence daily live

All to Jesus I surrender

Humbly at His feet I bow

Worldly pleasures all forsaken

Take me, Jesus, take me now

I surrender all

All to Thee my blessed Savior

I surrender all

I have a friend who will not sing these songs. Oh, she loves the Lord, but she feels that we swear this surrender to Him, but we don’t really do it. I understand what she means. I want to surrender ALL, but do I really? Then if I really do, do I take it all up again? I think I do. We are fickle creatures, up & down with emotions. God is the ONLY constant that we can count on. The only thing that cannot and will not change! Praise God that He sent us a “BLESSED SAVIOR” that we can count on.
