Gungor - I Am Yours Lyrics
Lyrics
I will wait upon the Lord
And renew my strength
For all I want is to know You more
To find Your mercy and grace
To know You is to love You
I want to know You more
Whatever it takes
Whatever it costs
My life is Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours
Humbly I will bow my knee
And offer You my praise
For when I seek You
I will find You
So patiently I wait

I Am Yours
Meaning & Inspiration
On January 24, 2025, Gungor is set to release "I Am Yours," a song that promises to resonate deeply within the spiritual landscape, offering a profound statement of surrender and devotion. In an age often marked by self-focus, this piece serves as a powerful reminder of where true belonging and fulfillment lie. It's a prayer, a declaration, and an invitation wrapped into a musical experience, stripping away the superfluous to hone in on the essential relationship between creator and created.
The core narrative of "I Am Yours" unfolds as a journey from patient seeking to absolute commitment. It begins with a clear intention to "wait upon the Lord and renew my strength," an immediate echo of the promises found in Isaiah 40:31, which assures that those who hope in the Lord will find fresh vigor. This waiting is not passive but purposeful, driven by an unwavering desire "to know You more," a yearning for intimacy that transcends mere intellectual understanding. This pursuit aligns perfectly with Jeremiah 9:23-24, which values knowing the Lord above all other wisdom or might, and mirrors the apostle Paul’s relentless aspiration in Philippians 3:10 to truly know Christ and the power of His resurrection. The lyrics continue this earnest plea "to find Your mercy and grace," a humble acknowledgment of human need and God's abundant provision, much like the invitation in Hebrews 4:16 to approach the throne of grace with confidence.
A pivotal theological insight then emerges: "To know You is to love You." This line encapsulates a profound truth—that a deeper, experiential knowledge of God's character, His faithfulness, and His immeasurable love, naturally cultivates an answering love within us, as articulated in 1 John 4:19, "We love because He first loved us." This knowing propels the song into its ultimate act of surrender, articulating a willingness to embrace "whatever it takes, whatever it costs," culminating in the unequivocal statement: "My life is Yours." This is the essence of discipleship, reflecting Christ's call in Luke 9:23 to deny oneself, take up one's cross daily, and follow Him. It is an offering of life as a "living sacrifice," holy and acceptable to God, as Romans 12:1-2 compels. The repeated affirmation, "I am Yours," serves as the anchor, a powerful and unwavering declaration of ownership and belonging, echoing Psalm 100:3, "Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his," and reminding us, as 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 states, that "you are not your own, for you were bought with a price."
The song then reiterates this commitment, promising a humble posture: "Humbly I will bow my knee and offer You my praise," a visual and spiritual act of reverence aligning with Philippians 2:10, where every knee will ultimately bow. This act of worship is not blind but rooted in the certainty that "when I seek You, I will find You." This promise, found consistently throughout Scripture, from Jeremiah 29:13 to Matthew 7:7-8, fuels the persistence in seeking God. The journey then circles back to its origin, embracing the initial posture of waiting, but now imbued with deeper understanding and conviction: "So patiently I wait." This waiting is not mere idleness but a hopeful, active anticipation, knowing that God is faithful to His promises. The message of "I Am Yours" is a compelling call to relinquish control, to embrace the joy and peace found in divine ownership, and to dedicate one's entire being to the One who freely offers mercy, grace, and an intimate relationship. It's a song designed to inspire profound spiritual reflection, encouraging each person to articulate their own declaration of belonging and surrender, thereby deepening their faith and enriching their walk with the divine.
