lyrics

Words & Music by Stephen Bautista

Sometimes I’m finding myself asking why you
Allow the many painful things we go through
Although it seems to be a bold inquiry
When I am questioning what you do

I’ve got a lot of nerve when I think I can
Second guess the rationale of your plans
Who am I to say, I’ve got a better way
When I’m the one who’s made by your hands

Chorus x2:
I am the clay you are the potter
Your higher ways are so much higher
You’d think by now that I should know better
Surrender, surrender

Now I’ll admit sometimes it’s hard to swallow
But when you’re in the lead and I just follow
You keep me right on track, always got my back
And with me everywhere that I go

You’re plans were made before the earth’s foundation
To win for me the hope of my salvation
So what I need to do is fully trust in you
Without any reservation

Chorus x2:
I am the clay you are the potter
Your higher ways are so much higher
You’d think by now that I should know better
Surrender, surrender...

Bridge:
…it all (surrender it all) to the one (surrender)
Who made me, saved me, gave me his all
I surrender it all

Chorus:
