about

I am a stubborn, strong willed, rebellious, cranky, jaded old sailor. But don't let me fool ya, I also have a bad side.

I Will Surrender is a prayer to commit myself to obey the Word of the Lord. For some of us, this has not been an easy lesson to learn.

Learning to surrender my will, my ambition seems obvious, but learning to surrender my wounds is taking me longer to absorb.

This was my prayer during an extremely challenging time of recovery. But like the weather, hard times come and go with the seasons of life. How we respond is more important than the circumstance.

lyrics

I Will Surrender
Written by Guy Morris © 2015

I will surrender
the will of my soul is laid open before you
So I will surrender
The work of my hands
my pride and my plans
I lay them on an alter and I let them burn

Let my living sacrifice be worthy, when I’m not worthy
If I could only lay down my pride
Let the will of Your Spirit to lead in my life
Let the love of the Father be my only desire and then

I will surrender
the wounds of this soul in need of healing
I will surrender
If I roll back the stone for a touch of the robe
Say the word Lord, I still need to be whole

Let my living sacrifice be worthy, when I’m not worthy
If I could only lay down my pride
Let the will of Your Spirit to lead in my life
Let the love of the Father be my only desire and then

I will surrender
Let Your will come to lead in my life
Let Your love be my only desire

Written and performed by Guy Morris. To be honest, I never did the guitar solo in church, but it was sure a lot of fun here. The amazing Heidi Beth Fisher is featured on background vocals.
