Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've held the wheel with bleeding hands
And tried to rule these bitter lands
I crowned myself with heavy pride
And starved the aching soul inside
I clutched the reins, I stood so tall
You trembled at your quiet call
But crowns of dust will soon decay
And all my glory fades away
[Verse 2]
The final embers fade and die
Hear a broken rebel's cry
I surrender all the keys
I have fallen on my knees
Take the iron and take the rust
Turn my kingdom into dust
All to Jesus, I give freely
All my trophies, all my plea
Hold me in your holy light
Far above all mortal sight
[Verse 3]
There is a sweetness in the lost
When standing underneath the cross
The heavy armor comes undone
Beneath a kind and ancient sun
I feel the fire, I feel the power
Of Jesus in this quiet hour
Full salvation, full and free
Is washing over even me
Take my mind and take my will
Let the roaring storm be still
I am yours and yours alone
Make my broken heart your throne
[Outro]
I surrender all the keys
I have fallen on my knees
Take the iron, take the rust
Turn my kingdom into dust
In the silence, my guiding light
I fade away in your sight
