Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Lord I offer up this rebel heart
So stubborn and so restless from the start
I don't wanna fight You anymore
So take this rebel heart and make it Yours
Father I no longer wanna run
You've broken my resistance with Your love
And drowned it underneath the crimson spill
So bend this rebel heart into Your will
I give it over to You
I give it over to You
Your love is like an arrow, straight and true
And now this rebel heart belongs to You
Help me lay the renegade to rest
Turn the stone inside me back to flesh
And hold me till my best defenses fall
And watch this rebel heart surrender all
I give it over to You
I give it over to You
Your love is like an arrow, straight and true
And now this rebel heart belongs to You
Oh take my life and let it be Yours
Oh take my life and let it be Yours
Oh take my life and let it be Yours
Oh take my life and let it be Yours
I give it over to You
I give it over to You
Your love is like an arrow, straight and true
And now this rebel heart belongs to You
Now this rebel heart belongs to You
Now this rebel heart belongs to You
