This is True Life

Oh, the peace of pure abandon
Oh, the joy of sweet surrender

‘Cause if I try to save my life I will lose it
But if I lose my life for Your sake
I’ll find it in the end, I’ll find it in the end
(This is true life / Give it all away)

I have to give You everything
And then the yoke is easy
I have to give You everything
And then the burden is so light

Oh, the peace of pure abandon
Oh, the joy of sweet surrender

‘Cause if I try to save my life I will lose it
But if I lose my life for Your sake
I’ll find it in the end, I’ll find it in the end

Happy holiness
Joyful righteousness
Happy holiness
(Life is found in the letting go
Joy is found in the tearing of the heart)

-Justin Rizzo "This is True Life" (Found Faithful)

In the healing process for me the last few months, this song has been my anthem. A great prayer/reminder of what I'm looking for in Christ.
