I chose surrender – v3

I fell to my knees
needing You fully
the burden too great
for me to carry, to go on;
I chose surrender
I gave my life
into the hands of the Creator
into the hands of Christ.

I bowed in submission
I gave my life, my all
into the hands of God
and God sustained me;
God gave me strength
assurance in my trials
God held me in my struggle
in my times of despair.
