The Surrendered Life

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
John 19:28-30 (NKJV)

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.
Hebrews 2:9 (NKJV)

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Hebrews 7: 25 (NKJV)

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV)

[Verse 1]
The straining of my
Will only left me weary
The harder I pulled,
The tighter the knot became
I thought my struggle
Was the price of holiness
Until the quiet broke my self-made frame

[Chorus]
Now I am resting in the hands that hold me
Every breath is gifted, not my own
I’ve ceased the labor of my heavy lifting
I am free, I am finally free

[Verse 2]
The tempter whispered
That to yield was losing
That I must maintain
The government of my soul
But peace arrived when I
Resigned my kingdom
And gave the Father’s hand
The full control

[Chorus]
Now I am resting in the hands that hold me
Every breath is gifted, not my own
I’ve ceased the labor of my heavy lifting
I am free, I am finally free

[Bridge]
If you are tired of your own... endeavor
If you are frightened by the path you... tread
Just be the clay within the Potter’s... fingers
And let the Shepherd see that you are... fed

[Chorus]
Now I am resting in the hands that hold me
Every breath is gifted, not my own
I’ve ceased the labor of my heavy lifting
I am free, I am finally free

[Outro]
(Free, I am free)
(The secret of the happy life)
(I’m carried now)
