Still Learning How to Surrender

Intro:
You promised I would never walk the storm alone;
My steps rest upon the very palms of Your hand as I journey on.
My hope is anchored firmly in Your holy name.

Chorus:
You see the battles no one sees; You hear the cries behind my breath.
You know the wars I fight alone and lift me up when my strength is spent.
No crown, no praise, no earthly stage—no worldly hands will ever applaud,
But every trembling step I take is treasured in the heart of God.

Verse 1:
I’ve surrendered, yet I’m still learning, Lord, what it means to let go;
My heart bows low, but my fears rise tall — they follow me everywhere I go.
I walk the road You’ve set before me, alive and awake in the dead of night;
A fragile man with a stubborn soul still reaching — still reaching for the Light.

Verse 2:
Sometimes I fear I’m just pretending, claiming trust I barely hold;
Yet You remind me in the silence that surrender grows — slow, but bold.
And though this world is not my home, and every peace feels borrowed for a while,
Lord, let Your mercy walk beside my shadow; teach my weary heart to truly smile.

Bridge:
So let Your fire burn what binds me, Lord; let Your whisper shape my bones.
I may fall again, but I will rise once more — for I never rise alone.
And when my courage feels like nothing, Lord, You become my strength, my everything, truly;
You see the man I’m meant to be — deep in my heart, beyond the ruins in my mind.
