I really love the song by Hillsong United, the Stand. The lyrics are so powerful. One line says, "You stood before my failure and carried the cross for my shame". Jesus looked at my sin and gladly bore it. He sacrificed Himself and died on a cross all so that I would be able to have a relationship with Him. One of the next lines says, "So what can I say, what can I do? But offer this heart O God, completely to You". Because of His love and sacrifice, I have to make a choice. Because He acted in love I must surrender my life and will to Him. The song explains salvation and God's grace so beautifully.
My favorite lyrics are at the end though. "So 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." That's it. I will stand, now and forever in awe of my Lord. He gave it all. He gave His power and life so He could come to earth and die for me. Therefore, I will stand against opposition and forever stand before the Lord with my heart abandoned and in awe. It's all about surrender. It is all about my choice to respond to the grace that God has offered. All I am is His.
