Verse 1:
One look from You disarmed me,
Now I’m Your vanquished foe.
One word from You subdued me,
Lord, never let me go!
Yes! Gladly I surrender!
My captive soul set free!
My heart melts, I surrender!
Your love has conquered me!
Verse 2:
What joy to be Your captive!
Your vict’ry train leads me.
Thankful, to be Your captive!
From tyranny set free!
Now as Your incense-bearer,
Scatter Your fragrance sweet.
Exhaling You, the savor,
To everyone I meet.
Verse 3:
My heart is turned to You, Lord,
Your precious face behold,
My eyes unveiled see You, Lord,
Reflect riches, untold.
Transform me Lord and use me.
My life’s, not for self-gain.
With Your heart, Lord consume me,
To build Your church, my aim.
Verse 4:
Yet still I’m independent!
‘Though I don’t want to be!
It seems that I forget You,
Consid’ring only me.
My strong will! O Lord! Conquer!
Your triumph is my rest!
Again Lord I surrender,
Dear Lord, I love You best!
Verse 5:
Make me still more Your captive,
Defeat me ev’ry time!
Keep working in me deeply,
With Your heart be aligned.
Don’t stop Your working in me
‘Til You, may others see.
Make me, still more Your captive,
Triumphant You would be!
