Lyrics
You stood before creation
Eternity in your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand
You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon your shoulders
My soul now to stand
So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God
Completely to you
So I'll walk upon salvation
Your spirit alive in me
This life to declare your promise
My soul now to stand
So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God
Completely to you
I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
I'll stand
My soul Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours

The same God who spoke the universe into existence also bent low to carry the weight of our failure on the cross. When we contemplate His immense majesty alongside His astounding grace, human words and efforts quickly fall short. How can we possibly offer enough in return? In the quiet stillness of His love, our only fitting response is to lay down our lives in surrender, standing in simple wonder before the Almighty.
