Lyrics

[Verse 1] I carried every question like a stone inside my coat Argued with the silence, tried to keep myself afloat I chased a hundred answers down a hundred different roads Then I heard You call my name and felt the burden go [Pre-Chorus] I don't have to hold the pieces I don't have to know the plan With my empty hands before You I can finally understand [Chorus] Jesus, I surrender all Every fear and every wall You have found me where I fell You have loved me through it all I was fighting for my life Now I'm resting in Your name [Verse 2] I remember sleepless mornings, counting reasons I was wrong Making promises to change, then breaking them before too long You were patient in the waiting, closer than my next breath When I stopped pretending strength, You met me there with grace [Pre-Chorus] I don't have to earn the mercy I don't have to make it mine I can lay my whole life down And receive this love divine [Chorus] Jesus, I surrender all Every fear and every wall Now my heart is wide awake Every chain has lost its claim I was fighting for my life Now I'm resting in Your name [Bridge] Take the questions, take the future Take the parts I can't repair I release my need to manage You are already there No more running, no more proving No more hiding from Your eyes I am held, forgiven, welcomed By the Savior of my life [Final Chorus] Jesus, I surrender all Every fear and every wall You have found me where I fell You have loved me through it all Now my heart is wide awake Every chain has lost its claim I was fighting for my life Now I'm resting in Your name [Outro] I am resting in Your name I am singing through the change All my life, my yes is Yours Jesus, I surrender all
