There are places in my heart and corners of my mind
That I’ve hidden from Your light
Like buried treasure deep inside of me
I don’t want You to see, I keep it to myself

But You give Your love to me
You open up Your heart unselfishly
Lord, in Your embrace now I can say, I surrender

CHORUS
Everything I held so precious
Everything I kept away
I give it up, give it up
All for You, I give it all for You
Everything I held as treasure
I give it all for You, I give it all for You

In Your light, I feel a new power coming over me
Calling me to Your surrender; I gotta find the answer
What is this Your love has opened up inside?
Suddenly I cannot hide

You give Your love to me
You open up Your heart unselfishly
Lord, in Your embrace now I can say, I surrender

CHORUS

‘Cause Your love is everything to me
And in Your light I finally see
Oh, I can’t hold it back
Everything I’ve hidden deep inside
Now I surrender

Surrender, Lord, I surrender
I give it all to You

You give Your love to me
You open up Your heart unselfishly
How can I not do the same for You?
I surrender

CHORUS
