It's Not Surrender
Embrace Freedom: Letting Go and Trusting in the Journey
Lyrics
You say you're done
You express that you've reached a point of completion or finality.
You say you're giving up but
You claim to be giving up or surrendering.
You won't wave your flag
Despite your declaration of surrender, you're not fully embracing it or showing it outwardly.
You say you quit
You state that you've stopped or resigned from something.
You say you won't resist
You declare that you won't oppose or defy, but your actions suggest otherwise.
But you're always fighting back
Even though you claim to quit, you continue to resist or fight back.
To control the things you fear the most
You are trying to manage or influence the things that cause you the most fear.
Oh you try to hold
You attempt to control or grasp onto something that only God can control.
What only God can hold
Highlighting the need to release and entrust matters to God.
It's not surrender
The true act of surrender hasn't occurred yet.
Until you really let it go
Full surrender is achieved when you genuinely release your grip on a situation.
Until you trust that he knows better
Surrender involves trusting that God knows better than you do.
And you put it in his hands
To fully surrender, you must place the matter in God's hands.
Until you do that
Emphasizing that true surrender requires taking this specific action.
It's not surrender
Reiterating that surrender is not complete until the specified actions are taken.
You say you dropped
You claim to have let go of all your burdens.
All Your burdens off
Despite letting go, you find yourself picking up those burdens again.
But You pick them up again
Your actions contradict your claim of rest or release from burdens.
You say you rest
You state that you find rest in God's promises.
In his promises but
You, however, tend to doubt or question those promises.
You're first to second guess them
Expressing uncertainty or hesitation regarding the promises you claim to rest in.
To control the things you fear the most
You're still trying to manage the things that cause you fear.
Feeling like you have to hold
You feel compelled to hold onto something that only God should hold.
What only God can hold
Reiterating the need to release what only God can manage.
Ooh please don't keep it to yourself
An urging to share and not keep your struggles to yourself.
Lay it down lay it down lay it down
An invitation to lay down your burdens and concerns.
Ooh please don't keep it to yourself
Repeated encouragement to open up and share your struggles.
Lay it down lay it down lay it down
Emphasizing the importance of letting go and not keeping your burdens inside.
It's not surrender
Reiterating that surrender is not yet complete.
Until you really let it go
Complete surrender requires genuinely letting go of the situation.
Until you trust that he knows better
Trusting that God knows better is crucial for true surrender.
And you put it in his hands
To surrender, one must actively place the matter in God's hands.
Until you do that
Reiterating that surrender is incomplete until this specific action is taken.
It's not surrender
Stressing the point that surrender is not achieved without specific steps.
Until you open up your heart
Surrender involves opening up your heart and being vulnerable.
Until you turn your worries over
Turning worries over to God is an essential part of the surrender process.
And you let him fight the war
Surrendering includes letting God take control of the battles you face.
Cause if you still think you can
If you still believe you can handle it on your own, true surrender hasn't occurred.
It's not surrender
Reiterating that genuine surrender is not achieved if you still think you can manage without divine intervention.
