...

Long before you knew this heart of mine
Lord you knew me; you loved me as your own
So how can I feel broken and alone?
So empty, so lonely, and afraid
Yet I know, underneath it all you still are moving.

I will choose the steeper way
Embrace the trials here today
It's a sweet surrender
Surrounded by my doubts and fears
I'll take this step cause you are near
It's a sweet surrender

The comforts of this world will quickly fade
So you call me to something deeper still
A restful heart and soul in things secure
To trust you, to know you, as my own
Yet I know, underneath it all you still are moving.

I will choose the steeper way
Embrace the trials here today
It's a sweet surrender
Surrounded by my doubts and fears
I'll take this step cause you are near
It's a sweet surrender

And everyday comes together like a tapestry
Someday we will see it's beauty on the other side.

I will choose the steeper way
Embrace the trials here today
It's a sweet surrender
Surrounded by my doubts and fears
I'll take this step cause you are near It's a sweet surrender

clothed in darkness,
blinded eyes
no where to turn to,
hopeless, unwise

chained down by my sin,
a prisoner
wanting forgiveness,
so insecure

there's gotta be life for me
there's gotta be hope
there's gotta be life for me
I want to be free
Free of guilt and free of shame
someone to finally clear my name
I wanna live, I wanna live
and to believe

Free from sin and free from death
before I give up my last breath
I wanna live, wanna finally,
finally be free

a ray of light, I have seen
the grace to turn to,
it set me free

You broke the chains that,
held me down
whispered forgiveness
O what a sound

You gave Your life for me,
You gave me hope,
You gave Your life for me

Now I'm free, free of guilt
and free of shame
by the power of Your name
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live
and to believe

Free from sin and free from death
the moment You gave Your last breath
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna finally
finally be free

I know there is life for me, I know there is hope, I know there is life for me

Because I'm free
Free of guilt and free of shame
By the power of Your name
I'm gonna live, gonna live and to believe,

I'm free from sin and free from death,
the moment you gave Your last breath,
I'm gonna live because I'm finally,
finally free
