In this world of darkness, I was lost and blind,
A sinner saved by grace, a troubled soul to find,
I struggle with my demons, I battle with my sin,
But deep within my heart, a new desire begins.

I want to please the Spirit, honor and glorify,
To care for those around me, as the days go by,
Though I fail daily, I know what I must do: Choose to surrender my life, Lord, in following You.

Oh, God, help me to shine, in this place so dark,
Shine your light, joy, and peace, leave a lasting mark,
In this mixed and messed up world, help me to stand tall,
I just want to make You proud, my Lord, above all.

I long to leave an impact, on this generation's soul,
To show them there's a true love that can make them whole,
But I'm just a vessel, imperfect and weak, Yet I know it's not about me, but the love You seek.

So I'll do the right thing, in Your loving sight,
For it's Your grace that guides me, Your strength that ignites,
I hate my daily struggles, but I'll press on through,
With every step I take, may they bring glory to You.

I surrender my desires, my hopes, and my dreams,
For in Your hands I’m found - my soul’s freed and redeemed,
I'll walk in Your footsteps, with faith as my guide,
And let Your love and grace be my true strength inside.

Oh, God, help me to shine, in this place so dark,
Shine your light, joy, and peace, leave a lasting mark,
In this mixed and messed up world, help me to stand true,
For the only One I want to please or make proud is You.

Help me surrender my life to You - the One who saves,
In Your love and mercy, my soul finds its place,
With every breath I take, I'll strive to do what's right,
For in pleasing, You, God, I find my true delight.

I once was lost and blind, but now
I’m found and can see;
A sinner saved by grace;
a sinner saved and at peace

Your love let’s me live.
Your blood heals and forgives.
Your kingdom is yet to come
And yet, your kingdom already is.
You rose and were seen.
You still reign supreme.
You’ll soon return, surely.
All glory to the KING.

I want to please the Spirit, honor and glorify,
To care for those around me, as the days go by,
Though I fail daily, I know what I must do:
Choose to surrender my life, Lord, and follow You.
