Today’s featured song: Fresh Surrender by The Archers from the 1977 album Fresh Surrender.

Another song apparently recorded from a friend’s LP (I can hear the crackle of the needle on the record at the beginning of the song). The lyrics are simple, but tell the story – humility before the Lord, freedom in the Lord, I can depend on the Lord to take care of all of my needs; and most importantly, the need to surrender authority of my life to Him. Great song, and great message.

Fresh surrender
I humble myself before You
You are the Lord of my life
Tender with compassion

Fresh surrender
All of Your love is in my life
You are the One who makes me free
Tender with compassion

You humbled Yourself and came to die for me
Before I knew I would need You
I humble myself before You now
Casting all my care upon You
Yes I do

Fresh surrender
I humble myself before You
You are the Lord of my life
Tender with compassion

Oh, all of my life I’ve been waiting for someone
Who’d love me the way that You love me
I trust in Your love and I open my heart
Casting all my care upon You
That’s what You really want me to do

Oh, yeah
Fresh surrender
I humble myself before You
You are the Lord of my life
Tender with compassion
(Fresh surrender)
With compassion
(Fresh surrender)
With compassion
(Fresh surrender)
With compassion
