The Return
[Verse 1]
So many things I've been carrying
Trying to hold on to my own life
While dying on the inside
And all the while You keep
Calling out for me
Promising that there’s more
Than I've ever known before

[Chorus]
I want to have empty hands
So You can fill them up with Your plans
You're worth it all and so much more
Let my life’s return be Your love's reward

[Verse 2]
So here I stand God in surrender
I lift up my hands now in surrender
Return my whole heart in surrender
I surrender
I'm coming back to my Maker
Return to my Maker
Returning my life to the Life Giver, the Life Giver

[Chorus]
I want to have empty hands
So You can fill them up with Your plans
You're worth it all and so much more
Let my life's return be Your love's reward
[Bridge]
Let Your light shine on every shadow
Don't let me be deceived by vain philosophies
Come let Your light shine on every shadow
Don't let me be deceived by vain philosophies
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world
But lose his own soul on vain philosophies
So let Your light shine on every shadow
Don’t let me be deceived by vain philosophies

[Chorus]
I want to have empty hands
So You can fill them up with Your plans
You’re worth it all and so much more
Let my life's return be Your love’s reward
