Search me o’ Lord
And seek out my heart
Surround me with Your spirit
And never be apart
Oh where can I go from Your spirit
And where can I go from Your presence
As high as the heavens to the deepest sea
Oh Lord, You are there
How great is Your love and Your mercy for me
With every breath I take I will worship
Lead my way I pray
Lord I surrender
How awesome Your presence
Your glory I see
I bow down before You in worship
I will wait on You
Lord I surrender
Lord I surrender
Lord I surrender
Lord I surrender
Lord I surrender
(repeat)
