                            Victory through Surrender

                                 By Robert Schaetzle

Words given us from the Baptist

Learn to decrease, Jesus to increase

What wisdom, what escape, what release

Where I am today, I should not be tomorrow

Don’t step away, seek greater love, greater power

Greater hope, like the fragrance of a morning flower

Hem of His robe, our treasure to hold

His child I am, created for His love

 New life given, His grace from above

His provision, His care, His power to share

Let old pass away, put on the new

Divine authority, to see you through

Learn to be still, learn to listen

Lord, your revelation, your word for feeding

Our steps, His narrow path, His leading

What are we today, our passion His treasure?

Present Him your life, He’ll present his hand

Reach out and let him, His promise will stand

We need Him first, and we need Him most

His kindness, power, and presence so tender

Walk in Jesus, our victory thru surrender
