Like Isaac she’s a gift to me
But like Abraham I don’t have the eyes to see
Cause I’ve doubted my heart
A thousand times or so

Has my shepherd ever let me down before
You’ve asked me for everything I’ve wanted to be
Surrenderin’ doesn’t come natural to me
But as I let her go
I feel freedom fill my soul
As I realize that you are still in control

Because what it really comes down to is this
She was never really mine
But always His
He has let me taste a love that could forever grow

Do I really love her enough to let her go?
Do I really love you enough to let you go?

I humble myself before you now
Surrenderin’ all the what’s, the why’s and how’s
Afraid of what you’ll do
As I give her up to you
Oh please hold her, fill her, my sweet Sue

To the altar I come on bended knee
Afraid of what lies ahead
Please let me see
Father, I’ve come to sacrifice my son
Not my will but yours be done

Because what it really comes down to is this
She was never really mine
But always His
He has let me taste a love that could forever grow

Do I really love her enough to let her go?
Do I really love you enough to let you go?

Surrender Susan, Jon Abel


Even in the midst of life's challenges, I continue to be amazed at God's faithfulness and how He shows that to me, even through the words of one musician who "happened" to be here this weekend . . . The story Jon shared and the song he played could not have been more applicable . . .
