SURRENDER

     For about the past week, I have been very humbled and led to let go of control of some of the things I feel I need to hold onto but shouldn't. Letting go is the first step, but letting God empty me of what has pulled me down for so long to fill me with his Spirit is the next step.
     In Isaiah 64:8 (ESV) it says "But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand." I was so inspired by this verse and by the fact that God used it to help me realize that I try to do WAY too much of the work. I need to let God be my potter and mold me into the person He created me to be! The person I was trying to be was someone much less successful, and much more stressed out, frustrated, tired, and weighed down. It just makes sense! 
     This verse struck a chord with me (no pun intended) and motivated me to write a worship song. I hope you find the lyrics as moving as I did this verse from Isaiah and my time with God this past week. Let me know what you think.

Surrender

V1:

But now, O Lord

You are our Father.

And we are the clay,

And you are our potter.

CH:

Mold us.

Make us.

Turn us into something brand new.

Fill us.

Consume us.

Lord make us more like you.

V2:

We lay our burdens down;

Surrender them to you.

We cry out our hearts,

And long to be renewed.

BR:

We wanna want what you want!

We wanna LOVE what you LOVE!

We want a heart like you God!

We are the work of your hands.
