When the day is done and the striving ends,
There's a place where every heavy heart
Can find the strength to stand, here I am.
You're my only hope, my solid ground,
Always faithful and forever God, to You alone I bow,
Here I am, here I am...
God rest my soul, I lay me down,
To lose myself in the grace I've found,
Oh to die and rise with Christ alone,
Take my life, God rest my soul...
On a lonely hill You were lifted high,
Oh the wonder of Your sacrifice it overwhelms my life,
Here I am, here I am.
You have overcome every enemy,
Even death has lost its grip on me, I stand in victory...
God rest my soul, I lay me down,
To lose myself in the grace I've found,
Oh to die and rise with Christ alone,
Take my life, God rest my soul...
I surrender, surrender,
I surrender,
Jesus, I surrender, surrender,
I surrender.
God rest my soul, I lay me down,
To lose myself in the grace I've found,
Oh to die and rise with Christ alone,
Take my life, God rest my soul...
Oh, I lay me down,
To lose myself in the grace I've found,
Oh to die and rise with Christ alone,
Take my life, God rest my soul...
