Brave Surrender
Kim Walker-Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time to let go
I can't be free
In the bindings of this world
You burn my soul
And whisper for me to come back home
I'm letting go
I'm taking hold
Of life eternal
On the other side I will find You
Leaving my fears behind
Brave surrender
Choosing to believe
For a freedom unknown
Falling to my knees
I can't win this on my own
Hope is alive
You've given me new eyes to see like You
I'm letting go
Brave surrender
I'm taking hold
Of life eternal
On the other side I will find You
Leaving my fears behind
Brave surrender
I'm running, not stopping
Straight into Your arms
You're closer, I hear You
Your voice cuts through the dark
I'm running, not stopping
Straight into Your arms
You're closer, I hear You
Your voice cuts through the dark
I'm letting go
Brave surrender
I'm taking hold
Of life eternal
On the other side I will find You
Leaving my fears behind
Brave surrender
Oh! I'm letting go
Oh, I'm letting go
O-o-o-oh
On the other side I will find You
Leaving my fears behind
Brave surrender
You tell my heart, it's time to let go
The opening line of "Brave Surrender" sets the tone for the entire song as Kim Walker-Smith sings about the struggle to let go of worldly bonds and surrender completely to God. The following lines describe the burning of her soul and a call to come back home. The metaphorical use of fire and burning may connote a rebirth or a purification process that is necessary for the ultimate surrender. As the song progresses, she talks about how she has chosen to believe in a freedom unknown by falling to her knees and that without God's help and grace, she cannot win freedom on her own. The song is about taking a leap of faith and trusting that there's more to life than what can be seen with human eyes. The mention of new eyes to see like God points to a deep yearning to be closer to the divine.
The chorus, "I'm letting go, brave surrender, I'm taking hold of life eternal" talks about the release of things that are not of God. It's about making a conscious effort to embrace a new phase in life and move forward with a faith that inspires courage. She emphasizes the idea of leaving fears behind, suggesting that fear is what holds one back from surrendering. The final lines of the song, "On the other side, I will find You, leaving my fears behind" reinforce this message, expressing a belief that surrendering to God will bring new hope and opportunities.

1 КУПЛЕТ:
Коснулся сердца, к свободе призвал...
Летел я в пропасть, где грех бушевал.
Душа запылала, и Голос звучал,
Он Рай обещал....
ПРИПЕВ:
Смиряюсь я, уступаю…
Я Вечности покоряюсь!
В мире новом Благодать обретаю.
Страха нет, помыслы пленяю…
Покоряюсь!
2 КУПЛЕТ:
Выбираю веру ради новой свободы.
Снова на коленях побеждаю я с Богом!
Надежда оживает,
И смотрю по-другому. Вижу, - как Ты…
БРИДЖ:
Стремлюсь всё ближе
В объятьях укрыться Твоих…
Ты рядом, я слышу.
Твой голос тьму озарит…
Коснулся сердца, к свободе призвал...

It's faith alone : works are a result not a cause of salvation :
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Romans 3
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

I listen to this song and think of my mom who passed away 10/24/2017. I heard this song while she was sleeping on and off for 9 days. She then took Jesus’s hand and left this earth. ❤️
