Aaron

I was walking down the aisle to give my life to Christ

Ready to surrender all and leave my pride behind

I took a step of brokenness, my spirit laid so bare

But I didn't even make it to the altar, He was there

He met me in the middle and He made my spirit whole

Poured His overwhelming mercy on the pieces of my soul

Now I'm looking to the heavens, to the clouds up in the sky

Holding onto Acts 1:9, I lift my hands up high

He took this hardworking man, taught me how to truly care

Gave me a forgiving heart when He met me standing there

I surrender all I am, every breath and every day

To the Savior who didn't wait for me to go the whole way

I used to build my life upon the sweat upon my brow

But loyalty and tenderness are what define me now

Because He showed me mercy when I fell short of the mark

His forgiving grace became the lantern in my dark

I don't have to earn the love He freely pours on me

I just rest in my surrender, I am Aaron, I am free

Now I'm looking to the heavens, to the clouds up in the sky

Holding onto Acts 1:9, I lift my hands up high

He took this hardworking man, taught me how to truly care

Gave me a forgiving heart when He met me standing there

I surrender all I am, every breath and every day

To the Savior who didn't wait for me to go the whole way

He was taken up before their eyes, a cloud hid Him from sight

But He left His Spirit with me just to guide me through the night

Though I cannot see His face, I can feel Him close to me

Just as loving as a Father, just as real as He can be

From the aisle where I surrendered to the heavens opened wide

I am walking with my Jesus, I have nothing left to hide

So I'm looking to the heavens, to the clouds up in the sky

Holding onto Acts 1:9, I lift my hands up high

He took this hardworking man, taught me how to truly care

Gave me a forgiving heart when He met me standing there

I surrender all I am, every breath and every day

To the Savior who met me before the altar, to wash my past away
