[Verse 1]
I belong, I belong to the maker of earth and seas
Who's as rich as a king yet so gentle and kind towards me
I am not cared for by a servant hired
But a shepherd who would leave the ninety-nine

[Chorus]
So when I give up, I gain
When I let go of having my own way
When I learn to see my surrender as a brand new start
To know the fullness of my Father’s heart

[Verse 2]
I will rest, I will rest not in worldly security
Not in what I may try to control that's controlling me
What if faith is simpler than I've made it be?
Just a simple trusting in Your love for me

[Chorus]
For when I give up, I gain
When I let go of having my own way
When I learn to see my surrender as a brand new start
To know the fullness of my Father’s heart
My Father's heart

[Chorus]
So here's my life to take
Though You've heard this prayer a thousand other days
Make this moment more than just empty words I say
Let it be a start
To know the fullness of my Father's heart
[Outro]
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord ,to Thee
