“Resurrender,” by Hillsong Worship, is a song with a powerful message. It’s a call for believers to refocus their lives on God. The lyrics use the image of Jesus cleansing the temple to remind us that God desires our full attention.
The first part of the song talks about how God removes distractions and challenges us to live according to his will. The chorus emphasizes our role as God’s people and his desire for us to be holy, just like him.
The song goes on to describe God’s vision for his followers: a holy nation, set apart for his glory. The bridge highlights God’s unfailing love and guidance, even when he corrects us. Ultimately, “Resurrender” is an invitation to recommit ourselves to God, trusting that he will restore what we give back to him.

Resurrender Lyrics by Hillsong Worship
VERSE 1:
You’re turning over tables
And calling for return
To our lives upon the altar
The things we did at first
You’re clearing out the temple
You’re cleaning out the dirt
For we are Your territory
Lord we are Your Church
CHORUS:
We are Your people
You are our God
We are Your temple
Make us holy like You are
VERSE 2:
You see a holy nation
A flock to consecrate
A chosen generation
A people called to pray
So help us God to please You
Where only You can see
For every moment matters in eternity
CHORUS 2:
We are Your people
You are our God
We are Your temple
Make us holy like You are
We are Your children
You’ve set us apart
God for Your glory
Make us holy like You are
BRIDGE 1:
Mark Your people with Your presence
Make us a place where You delight to dwell
May we heed Your hand’s correction
Oh Lord our Shepherd
You do all things well
Your love as firm as it is tender
Your law is perfect
And Your judgments true
As we run to resurrender
You will restore what we return to You
You are restoring as we yield anew
BRIDGE 2:
If You’re calling
We’re coming
We’re not walking
We’re running
God we need resurrender
We resurrender
