Daybreak

"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...
