Surrender
b>Spoken:
Hey, You're so good, Lord
We can't get enough of You, God
We're not just saying that
It's not just words, it's not just a melody
But God, it's real, it's true - from our hearts
I'm going to teach you this song, it's called "Jesus, I Surrender."

Here at Your feet
I'll always be
With the angels
Crying holy

There's not one thing
That means as much to me
As You my God
As You my King

Here in the darkness
I lift my eyes to You
Your light comes shining through

Sing it out

Jesus, I surrender
I draw nearer
I fall down
Master, be my Savior
Be my shelter
Be my God

Here at Your feet
I'll always be
With the angels
Crying holy

There's no one else
Who can compare to You
The righteous One
The perfect Son

Here in this silence
I hear You speak my name
And I cry out to You, yeah

Jesus, I surrender
I draw nearer
I fall down
Master, be my Savior
Be my shelter
Be my God

Be my God
Be my God

Here in the darkness
I lift my eyes to You
Your light comes shining through

Here in the silence (spoken)

Here in this silence
I hear You speak my name
And I cry out to You, oh

Jesus, I surrender
I draw nearer
I fall down
Master, be my Savior
Be my shelter
Be my God

I surrender

Jesus, I surrender
I draw nearer
I fall down
Master, be my Savior
Be my shelter
Be my God

Oh, be my God
Be my God
Be my God
Be my God

Everything below is spoken
You know, for me worship is so much more than a song
It's so much more, even though I'm a worship leader
And that's what I do for my life

Worship leading is just a small part of actually worshiping God
If our actions don't match up to the songs that we sing
Then we're just giving God lip service
We fall under that same category that Israel fell into
God said that they were a people whose lips honored Him
But whose hearts were far from Him

I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to be like that
I want to be one who's after God's heart
Amen

This next song we're going to do talks just about that exact thing
It talks about giving our hearts to God
And we have a lot of songs that say,
"Lord, I give You my heart, I give You my life, I give You my soul"
But the thing that I want to get through our heads and our hearts tonight
Is that once you give your heart to God, you don't ever take it back
So that's what I encourage you as we sing this song

This song is called "Keep My Heart"
I want this song to be your song
Say," Lord, I give You my heart and I don't want it back."
