Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Resting in Your promise
I will rest within the knowledge that You care
I put my trust in You
And deep within the darkness
Though my enemies surround, I will not fear
I put my trust in You
[PreChorus]
And when I don't know what to do
Jesus, I will fix my eyes on You
[Chorus]
You're my defender
I hide my hope in You
You are the loving arms my broken heart can run to
And I will remember that there is nothing You can't do
'Cause You are God, and you are good
And I surrender, You're my defender
You're my defender
[Verse 2]
You are strong when I am weakest
You're the peace that passes everything I see
I put my trust in You
I'm surrendering completely
Laying all my cares here at Your feet
I put my trust in You
[PreChorus]
Oh, and when I don't know what to do
Jesus, Oh I will fix my eyes on You
[Chorus]
Oh, you're my defender
I hide my hope in You
You are the loving arms my broken heart can run to
And I will remember that there is nothing You can't do
'Cause You are God, and you are good
And I surrender, oh
[Bridge]
A mighty fortress is our God
I will not fear, I will not fear
Safe and secure here in Your love
I will not fear
[PreChorus]
And when I don't know what to do
I will fix my eyes on You
[Chorus]
You're my defender
I hide my hope in You
You are the loving arms my broken heart can run to
And I will remember that there is nothing You can't do
You are God, and you are good
Oh I surrender, oh You're my defender
I hide my hope in You
You are the loving arms my broken heart can run to
And I will remember that there is nothing You can't do
'Cause You are God, and you are good
And I surrender
