Outro
I surrender, I surrender
I surrender Lord I surrender
My life to you
I surrender, I surrender
I surrender Lord I surrender
Everybody lift you hands cast your body upon the Lord
It's not in your eyes so you can see
He's making you to be like him
It's not in your heart so you can love him more
He is making you to be like him
It's not in your ear you can hear His words
He is making you to be like him
It's no in your heart so you can love him better
He is making you to be like him
There is no me without you
No me without you

Meaning & Inspiration
“The Way You Father Me” by Elijah Oyelade is a live worship song that celebrates God’s care as a Father. It starts with a call to lift hands and worship, and a declaration that His name is everlasting. The first verse repeats “I feel love, I feel your presence over me.” The chorus says, “This is the way you father me, I love the way you Father me,” and ends with thanks to Jesus.
The second verse lists what the Father does: He touches the eyes to see, the heart to love more, the ears to hear His words and the mind to know Him better, and each time the refrain says “You making me to be like you.” The bridge pushes dependence to the front with “There’s no me without you,” “You are my tomorrow,” and “I need you more than yesterday.” The ending is surrender.
The themes are close to Romans 8:15, 2 Corinthians 3:18 and John 15:5. The song is warm, repetitive and meant for a congregation to sing.
