Oh, the peace of pure abandon; oh, the joy of sweet surrender
‘Cause if I try to save my life I will lose it But if I lose my life for Your sake, I’ll find it in the end I’ll find it in the end (This is true life / Give it all away)
I have to give You everything, and then the yoke is easy I have to give You everything, and then the burden is so light
Oh, the peace of pure abandon; oh, the joy of sweet surrender
‘Cause if I try to save my life I will lose it But if I lose my life for Your sake, I’ll find it in the end I’ll find it in the end
Happy holiness, joyful righteousness Happy holiness (Life is found in the letting go Joy is found in the tearing of the heart )
