Lyrics
I finally understood your invitation
When I failed to do anything right
You said come to me all who are weary
My yolk is easy; my burdens are light
It?s something I believe in. It?s something that I know
When I put into practice, when I finally let go
Chorus:
It was a sweet surrender
A grace that only You impart
You took my sin and wrapped it in Your righteousness
It?s the beginning
But what place to start
I know You, but I struggle with the lie
That I?m not accepted by You
Then You gently bring me back to the moment
When I realized Your Word was the Truth
Some might think I?m crazy for believing like I do
But my greatest single moment, was when I gave my life to You
It was a sweet surrender
A grace that only You impart
You took my sin and wrapped it in Your righteousness
It?s the beginning
But what place to start
Tag:
Oh, You took my sin and wrapped it in your righteousness
It?s the beginning
But what a place to start
