I Submit, I Succumb

Summary:

This song, which I do not have the music for, is about my experience the first time I fully submitted to Jesus the night before Easter.

Non-Christians welcome! 🤗 I hope that you will be moved by the Truth of our Lord and King Jesus Christ!

Work Text:

(Verse 1)
When I laid down on the floor
I felt Your arms around me forevermore
This feels so much like a dream
But how can it be?

(Verse 2)
When I raised up my head
You were giving me a crown
Reachin’ out to show me
That you still really cared
You cared

(Verse 3)
You still loved me
Your Love has never failed
Never stopped expanding
Until it was as wide as the galaxy
And maybe even more

(Verse 4)
I must admit
I’d never felt Your Love so wide, so tall
So wonderful
There aren’t enough words to describe
How much I cried

(Verse 5)
My tears they flowed onto the ground
Running like a fountain that’ll never run dry
I reached out to my Savior
Worthless and imperfect
And He took my hand
Saying “I forgive you”

(Bridge)
Oh, God

(Chorus)
I submit, I succumb
You’re the only one to trust!
I submit, I succumb
Do what You want to with my life!
I won’t complain
I won’t be slain
Nothing can hurt me now!

(Bridge)
(You saved me
You rescued me
Now I’m free,
You saved me
You rescued me
Now I’m free)

(Verse 6)
Light, I didn’t used to see this Light
The Light of which is blinding,
But it’s hard to see if you close your eyes
You can only really see
When the only One who’s Worthy
Opens up your eyes, to tell you

(Bridge)
“You’re not worthless
Not imperfect
You’re mine
And I love you”

(Verse 7)
I can’t possibly contain my joy!
I will rise up to the rooftops
My soul singing praises to the One who makes all things new
Hallelujah!!

(Chorus)
I submit, I succumb
You’re the only one to trust!
I submit, I succumb
Do what You want to with my life!
I give it up
I give it all up
To You!!

(Verse 8)
I can’t promise You that things will be any different
I can’t promise You that I’ll really change
But I can promise You I’ll try
Here!
Take it all, take it all
I surrender You my life
Maybe then change will really happen

(Bridge)
Oh, God, I surrender!!!!

(Chorus)
I submit, I succumb
You’re the only One who loves
I submit, I succumb
Do what You want to with my life!
I won’t complain
I won’t be slain
Jesus You rescued me!!

(Bridge)
I can’t keep it inside
Maybe then I’ll finally be the light
I can only pray

(Verse 9)
I won’t make another decision without You, God
Without Your influence on my life I am nothing
Remind me to ask before I plunge
Remind me to always remember You

(music crescent)

(Chorus)
I submit, I succumb (Jesus)
You’re the only One for us (Teach me)
I submit, I succumb (Show me)
Do what you want to with my life (Guide me)
I won’t be afraid (Lead me)
I won’t be swayed (Love me)
You make all things new!! (Change me)

(music slows down drastically)

(Ending)
Here!
Take it all, take it all
I surrender You my life

Notes:

Amen!! Hallelujah!! Praise the Only One Worthy of all our praise!! Praise the Only One who saves!! Praise the Only One who can truly love!

Jesus, I’ll walk where You walk, say what You say, and go where You tell me to. I pray I’ll never stray off Your path and learn to trust Your Perfect Plan before my own!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ✝️
