Lyrics
Intro
The only strategy was for You to die for me!
The only strategy was Your blood to cleanse my sin
......Oh oh oh
The only strategy was for You to lay your will
The only strategy, The only strategy…
Verse 1 (Repeat)
I see You broken,
before the Father
You carried the weight,
of surrender
Your flesh crying out,
you sweat drops of blood... (repeat)
And through it all, You said:
“Father, let Your will be done.”
Through it all, You said:
“Father, let Your will be done.”
Chorus
Ooh Jesus, Jesus
Thank You for submitting Your will...
Yeshua, Yeshua
Thank you for submitting your will
(repeat)

I will submit to Your will
However hard or sweet
I will submit to Your will
However hard or sweet
I’ve got my mind made up
To hold on to Your will
Help me, Father
To hold on to Your will

I do submit to Your will
However hard or sweet
I do submit to Your will
However hard or sweet
I’ve got my mind made up
To hold on to Your will
Help me, Father
To hold on to Your will

Meaning & Inspiration
“Jesus’s Submission” centers on Christ’s willing surrender to the Father and the saving meaning the song finds in that obedience. Images of anguish, sweat like blood, and a will laid down place the scene in Gethsemane. The repeated prayer, “Father, let Your will be done,” presents submission not as passivity but as costly faithfulness. References to cleansing blood and Christ dying for sin connect that surrender with redemption.
The later sections turn contemplation into response. Gratitude for Jesus’ submission gives way to a personal pledge to follow God’s will whether obedience feels hard or sweet. That movement gives the song a clear devotional arc: it first considers Christ’s example, then asks for help to imitate it. The closing requests acknowledge that resolve alone is insufficient and that steadfast obedience depends upon the Father’s help. Luke’s account of Jesus praying in anguish provides a close biblical parallel, while Philippians describes his obedience even to death.
