Laura Story - I Give Up lyrics
[Laura Story - I Give Up lyrics]
I belong
I belong to the maker of earth and seas
Who's as rich as a king yet
So gentle and kind towards me
I am not cared for by a servant hired
But a shepherd who would
Leave the ninety-nine
So when I give up, I gain
When I let go of having my own way
When I learn to see my surrender
As a brand new start
To know the fullness of my Father’s heart
I will rest
I will rest not in worldly security
Not in what I may try
To control that's controlling me
What if faith is simpler than
I've made it be?
Just a simple trusting in Your love for me
For when I give up, I gain
When I let go of having my own way
When I learn to see my surrender
As a brand new start
To know the fullness of my Father’s heart
My Father's heart
So here's my life to take
Though You've heard this prayer
A thousand other days
Make this moment more than just
Empty words I say let it be a start
To know the fullness of my Father's heart
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee
I belong to the maker of earth and seas
Who's as rich as a king yet
So gentle and kind towards me
I am not cared for by a servant hired
But a shepherd who would
Leave the ninety-nine
So when I give up, I gain
When I let go of having my own way
When I learn to see my surrender
As a brand new start
To know the fullness of my Father’s heart
I will rest
I will rest not in worldly security
Not in what I may try
To control that's controlling me
What if faith is simpler than
I've made it be?
Just a simple trusting in Your love for me
For when I give up, I gain
When I let go of having my own way
When I learn to see my surrender
As a brand new start
To know the fullness of my Father’s heart
My Father's heart
So here's my life to take
Though You've heard this prayer
A thousand other days
Make this moment more than just
Empty words I say let it be a start
To know the fullness of my Father's heart
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee
