Story Behind the Song
Vicki Lei wrote this song in honor of a man she met. She was so impressed that he gives of his immense wealth in the pursuit of Christianity. He has truly been transformed. The song was written in her home, and recorded immediately. It took about two hours to record in her personal studio, with few retakes in the process.
Lyrics
The world, it gave me all it s splendor,
But left a yearning deep within.
A firm foundation I d achieved,
Yet never quite believed
All I needed was right within my reach.
So I come to you, Oh Father,
To lay my life here at your feet.
Because you don t need half a man
In your master plan,
By your mercy and grace I am complete.
I surrender all,
Only to your call.
With every breath I live
And all I have to give you,
I surrender all.
I ll build you a foundation,
Through your holy name.
And as you flow you through me,
And set my spirit free
I ll never be the same.
I surrender all,
Only to your call.
With every breath I live,
And all I have to give you,
I surrender all.
With every breath I live,
And all I have to give you,
I surrender all.
