I Surrender
by Michael Doyle

Faith comes from hearing
And learning to love
It's not from fearing
But following heaven above

Holding the doors open wide
We know God always stands beside
His followers, as we lift our hands in praise
This is the faith flowing from our days

It's there in everywhere that we go
We're always sure to let our love flow
He is the one we will always extol
From the top and the bottom of our souls

It seems that it is understood
The Lord Jesus has brought us our good
Even in the darkest night
His will be our best guiding-light

With every breath left to the likes of me
His love will always remain my theology
For His is the love that is sweet and tender
And so my very life, I willingly surrender

It is for me to sacrifice to God's purposes
Being used as I might be in His services
This I promise to live out in all my days
While lifting my hands in song, love, and praise
