If Jesus Had Surrendered
If Jesus had surrendered where would people be right now
Would this world even still exist and if so tell me how
With all the deep corruption that's so prevalent today
Can you imagine evil would not wipe this world away
But thankfully He did not bow nor give in to the foe
Instead He stood against the storm to show us how to go
From one step to another in the path we walk each day
Providing us with guidance in all that we do and say
To further His great Gospel of deliverance for man
To help the world through all the lies to try to understand
That love that knows no boundaries no restrictions no defeat
But shines a light upon the hearts of all those that we meet
A light of true compassion for the lost and wayward soul
That does not have self-interest as a purpose in its goal
That willingly will lay all down to be another's guide
To help them in their pain-filled path to find that Place to hide
Where all can find a Refuge from the evils of the day
Can find that peace that nothing in this world can take away
And find also renewal of the years they thought were gone
Restoring hope in what was past that they might focus on
A brighter day tomorrow with their Saviour by their side
As daily with God's Spirit in His temple they abide
Collecting inspiration for the challenges ahead
To turn what once seemed like defeat to victory instead
In ways we can't imagine as God has a thousand ways
To bring about His purpose for these few remaining days
To make and mold and fashion us to what we need to be
An image of His holiness for all the world to see
That Christ did not surrender neither did the devil win
The day Christ died upon that cross to save us from our sin
But more than that assured us there's reward for those who try
Not to depend on earthly things but Him Who'll fill the sky
With glory at His soon return as Victor Lord and King
To gather all the faithful who are waiting then to sing
The Song of Moses and the Lamb as they will always be
Christ's jewels in His crown of love for all eternity
