"Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak." (Genesis 32:24)
Daybreak I let go of my wisdom and strength As You wrestle my flesh to the ground Let my life no longer be mine alone Let my life in Christ be found No more striving for my righteousness No more striving for my place Dying to self I yield my soul Let me be clothed in Your grace You know me, You know what I need You know the exact place to touch Cripple me in my selfish walk Lord That I may be sealed in Your love Let the pain remind me with each step Let the wound stay within my view Let all my flesh be utterly consumed As I rise in the daybreak of You Crush me with the weight of Your glory Leave no trace of who I once was Overshadow all of my small suns With the true Light of heaven above Yours is the kingdom I long for Yours is the embrace that I choose I lay my life down that it might be saved I gain everything when once I first lose You do not walk in man's wisdom You do not walk in man's ways You are Almighty, Holy, Only God I give up my freedom, to be Your slave Better is one day with You Better is the life that You give Better to die in Your arms So that I may truly live Set me as a seal upon Your heart Set me as a seal upon Your arm Many waters cannot quench love I drown, but I feel no harm You sing songs of deliverance You draw near where others run You alone are my Deliverer In surrender the victory is won...
