You gave me a title although I didn't know you
You called my name and blessed me with life
Now I've squandered the fortunes of my childhood
Given into a world of lies
But I can't hide forever from what I know is true
Jesus I surrender my life to you
[Chorus:]
Cause you are the Lord and there is no other
You're my God and I'm not ashamed
I'll stand for you when the whole world falters
I will bear your name and I won't be the same
The mountains they move at the sound of your holy name
The lame will walk and the blind will see
I know you've won my heart, I know that I am nothing
You are the source of everything
And I can't live forever unless I live in you
Jesus I surrender my life to you
