"'Sweet Surrender' is a love song to Jesus – it truly is. It's about surrendering all your mental capabilities and your physical and your emotional capabilities to Him and letting Him love you in every way He can." -- Jaci Velasquez

It's not a mysterious wind,
And it's not the thunder rollin' in;
It's a spirit that I feel within that's callin'.
I understand but I can't explain.
Now I see love in a different way.
And with a single leap of faith, I'm fallin'
Into Your loving arms.
Showing no resistance,
There's a peace that flows over me.

Sweet surrender, love me tender.
You have captured my desiring heart completely.
Sweet surrender, Yours forever.
I will gladly give my all to You.
Receive me. Oh Lord, I am ever Yours.

Your love offers no escape,
But I don't feel the need to run away.
My heart has found a place to stay here with You.
Nothing else could satisfy
The deep void that I had inside.
From all the worldly battles I had lived through,
Now here in Your loving arms,
I have gone the distance.
I will rest my soul in Your embrace.

Sweet surrender, (surrender) love me tender. (tender)
You have captured my desiring heart completely.
Sweet surrender, (surrender) Yours forever. (forever)
I will gladly give my all to You.
Receive me. Oh

Yes, I have gone the distance.
I will rest my soul in Your embrace.

Oh, oh, Sweet surrender, (surrender) love me tender. (tender)
You have captured my desiring heart completely.
Oh Lord, I am ever Yours.
Oh Lord, I am ever Yours.
