Lyrics

I know Lord Your plan for me is right
And I need You to fulfill
Your promise in my life
I submit to You my King
Be my everything
I'm coming to You again
Lord here I am


I surrender I surrender
Lord I surrender my life
Give it all to You
I surrender I surrender
Lord I surrender my life
Give it all to You


Humble and broken I come to You
I'm trusting and waiting
To see what You will do
Lord You know what's best
And at Your feet I find my rest
I'm coming to You again
Lord here I am
Here I am

Meaning & Inspiration

I Surrender presents devotion as a whole-life response to God. The opening words accept divine wisdom and promise, then turn toward submission: the singer offers every part of life to the King. The repeated chorus keeps that commitment at the center, treating surrender not as defeat but as trust.

The second verse adds humility, patience, and rest at God’s feet. Romans 12:1 offers a close parallel in its call to present one’s life to God, and Psalm 37 connects quiet trust with waiting for him. The song’s simple progression from confidence to yieldedness makes it a clear prayer of consecration, with dependence rather than self-reliance as its final posture. The restrained language keeps attention on obedience, hope, and the peace found in God’s care.
