Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once you touched my heart, twice I heard your word
You promised you would never leave me, Coz you know right where it hurts
Please wipe these tears from my eyes; Lord please takes away my pain
I will never leave you, Coz your love will never change

Once you touched my heart, when I heard your word
You promised you would never leave me coz you know right where it hurts
Please wipe these tears from my eyes, Lord please take my pain away

I will never leave you, Coz your joy comes in the morning

I surrender, lord to you
Take me, use me, do your will
I surrender lord to you

Here I am, all of me, I'm all yours, your love for me i couldn't measure
And when my back is against the wall, Lord you never let me down
Lord your scars spell out my name, so that I can live again
I will never leave your side, take my life don't let me go

I surrender, Lord to you
Take me, use me, do your will
I surrender Lord to you
I surrender, Lord to you
Here I am, your vessel
Do your will
I surrender Lord to you

I know sometimes I break your heart, But still you won't let me go
Your love for me I can't explain, Unconditional
When everything around me is going wrong and my strength won't do
My helpless cry please don't ignore I owe my life to you

I surrender, Lord to you
Take me, use me, do your will
I surrender Lord to you
I surrender, Lord to you
Here I am, your vessel
Do your will
I surrender Lord to you

Heavenly father full of grace, I need to know you more
More of you in my life, I cannot afford to be
Separated from your will, You are more than life to me
I present myself a living sacrifice, do as you please

I surrender, Lord to you
Take me, use me, do your will
I surrender Lord to you
I surrender, Lord to you
Here I am, your vessel

Do your will
I surrender Lord to you
