(Revelation 3:20)
The guys and I drive lot of miles on the road each year and one topic that comes up quite often in our conversation is how short our time on this earth really is. Things are happening around the world even now and we just don’t know how much time we have. I know in my life I feel the Lord tugging at my heart asking…pleading with me to listen and to let God have my whole heart.

Have you heard that? Does He have your whole heart? There is no better time than now to give it to Him. We can find so much happiness in Christ. And what are we giving up? A tired, old, sinful, wasted world that isn’t worth our lives. What do we gain? – Eternal life!

(Chorus)
Give in to the Lord
Don’t wait another day
Just stand up for Jesus
There is no time to stray
Time is so short
Let’s claim our reward
Lay your burdens down
And give in to the Lord

Living in this world has its benefits
But I can’t wait to leave here,
that much I’ll admit
I want no earthly treasures;
I’m tired of earthly pleasures
So I will live my life in Him and dig into His Word

(Repeat Chorus)

Can you think of times when you have given in?
And have you ever felt like you were trapped in sin?
Look into the heavens, get on your knees and pray
And He will hear you calling, and you will hear Him say

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Lay your burdens down
And give in to the Lord
Give in to the Lord
Give in to the Lord
Give in to the Lord
