I Give Up
By Laura Story
Lyrics
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
Pre-chorus 1
I am not cared for by a servant hired
But a Sheperd who would leave the ninety-nine
Chorus 1
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
Pre-chorus 2
What if faith is simpler than I've made it be
Just as simple trusting of Your love for me
Chorus 1
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 2
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
