I have had enough,
buying ashes with my love
I don't need this
I'm pursuing counterfeit
I'm worth so much more
than this
I don't need it
I don't need it

My flag is turning white
I need Your hope tonight
For the first time
Surrender saved my life

When will all this end?
Must I open up again?
I don't need this
Healing hurts a little more, but I'll be stronger than before
Yeah, I need this,
I know I need this

Keep my eyes focused, You are the long run
There's no time for giving up
We'll make it
We'll make it




Behind the Song:
“Surrender Saved My Life” was inspired by numerous stories we heard on the road of self-injury, depression, addiction, loneliness, feeling worthless, or finding love in all the wrong places. The song is about realizing how much we’re worth in God’s eyes and that we no longer need to use those vices we all struggle with. That transition is hard, but the healing that comes with it is lasting, and we can emerge out of those strongholds victoriously.” – Ben Olin (This Beautiful Republic)
