Rita Springer's song is a worship ballad about surrendering control to God. The lyrics express a deliberate choice to let go of personal strength and trust in God's faithfulness, especially during chaotic times. The repeated phrases 'I tell my knees to buckle' and 'I tell my heart surrender' emphasize a physical and emotional posture of yielding. The song focuses on God as hope and treasure, and the act of giving everything over to His control. It reflects themes of trust, release, and dependence on God's sovereignty.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

To You I sing, it's You that I worship

All that I hold, I'm letting go

It's You I adore, God You are perfect

All that I lack, I know You are


I tell my knees to buckle

The sooner I fall, You have it all

I tell my heart surrender

The sooner I let go, You take control


You are my hope, You are my treasure

In chaos I've known, You are faithful


I tell my knees to buckle

The sooner I fall, You have it all

I tell my heart surrender

The sooner I let go, You take control


I surrender, I surrender

I surrender all I am and all I question

I surrender, I surrender

I surrender all I am and all I question


I give You everything, You can take anything

You have control, You have control

I give You everything, You can take anything

You have control, You have control

[x2]


I tell my knees to buckle

The sooner I fall, You have it all

I tell my heart surrender

The sooner I let go, You take control
