Strength to Surrender

To be still and know that You are God
Lord, what does it mean?
I don't think it's like anything I've known
Like nothing I've felt or seen

Lord, teach me how to bow down
Teach me how to be humble
Teach me always to depend on You
Not to walk on my own and stumble

There's so much in me that needs to change
So much that doesn't love You
So much that turns away
And wants to be without You

But Lord, O Lord! No- I am Yours!
I'm Yours, I'm Yours, I'm not my own!
Lord, give me a heart that beats for you
Please replace my heart of stone

You are so incredible
How can I be bored?
I want to be zealous for You
Stir it up in my heart, Lord

Teach me to abide in You
O Lord, teach me to pray
Give me the strength to surrender
So Your voice I'd always obey

My Lord, My Lover

My Lord, my Lover, with me abide
Reignite my passion lost inside
Recapture my heart too prone to stray
And reclaim me boldly everyday

Relocate me to Your lands
Reposition me in Your hands
Replant Your seeds of joy and peace
Release my fears, my sorrows cease

In the dark Your name I've screamed
In desperation have I cried
In love You tell me I'm redeemed
And that You never left my side

My Saviour God, how You provide!
Let not my faith in You subside!
You know I thirst to put You first
Let not my yearning be denied

Help me shine glorious as Your bride
My Lord, my Lover, with me abide.
