Songs from a family walking with Jesus through real life.

Theme

Surrender

Letting go to make room for what God is doing. These songs were written in seasons of releasing control - making space for His presence and trusting His lead.

Where this shows up in Scripture

Romans 12:1

Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship.

Surrender shows up in the everyday - offering our lives back to Him.

James 4:7-8

Submit yourselves, then, to God... Come near to God and he will come near to you.

As we come near in humility, He meets us there.
