Analysis of I Surrender
I surrender my life to you Jehovah
Show me the way you want me to
Go and never let me let go !
This is the day I give you full control,
I know I am in a world of haters and
Lawlessness with no godly devotion,
Though I could reach out to this hurtful
World and tell them what I hold in my
Heart and all this world would give me
Back is an empty heart with no hope
Of everlasting ,
I would cry with rain pouring tears in
All the things I had to see and feel for
Years of my life ,
I surrender
In total submission my heart cry out for
You Jehovah in a repented way ;
Hold my hand Jehovah and show me
The way I need to go ,
Let me be a helping hand in this society
I live in ; Let me teach others the way to
Go and for them and myself to never take
Our eyes off of you in all we do ,
And learn to give without asking for a refund
To be able to influence others into aiming for
The best they can be in you .
Never try to play Jehovah that would be the
Wrong thing to ever do !
This world is a bad place to give your heart
And soul too , I surrender my all to you Jehovah
God please clean my robe as white as snow
I give you all my heart and soul .
