Steven Curtis Chapman's song 'My Surrender' is a heartfelt prayer of complete surrender to God. The lyrics express the singer's realization that everything he has comes from God, and he offers it all back—his plans, dreams, and very life. The song captures the struggle of trying to hold on and the relief of letting go, laying everything at Jesus' feet. It's a personal declaration of trust and obedience, echoing the biblical call to present oneself as a living sacrifice. The repeated refrain 'I surrender' emphasizes a total yielding of control, making it a powerful worship anthem for those seeking to give God full authority over their lives.

Does it all sound the same?
Are my words getting through?
I�??ve been trying so hard
and I�??m about to break
So here I am with all I have
And I�??m giving it all back to You
All back to You
I surrender
Yeah, I�??m giving it all back to You
All back to You
This is my surrender
Take it all
And what song can I sing
but the song that You give
I have nothing to bring
that did not come from Your hand
So here I am with all I have
And I�??m giving it all back to You
All back to You
I surrender
Yeah, I�??m giving it all back to You
All back to You
This is my surrender
All my plans and all my dreams
I�??m giving it all to You
I lay it all down at Your feet
I�??m Yours
So what song can I sing but this song?
I�??m giving it all back to You
All back to You
I surrender
I�??m giving it all back to You
All back to You
This is my surrender
Take it all
Take it all
Lord, take it all
Take it al
