Surrender

[Verse 1]
Thirty long years
Of doin' things my way
Has got me here
The road behind me
Is littered with the ruins
Of decisions we made in fear

"But don't be afraid"
The Lord has so sweetly said
And, depending on his word
I will surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender
Yeah

La da da, da da
Hey

La da da, di di

[Verse 2]
My habitual desire to control
I, I now abandon
And from my schemes so carefully conceived
I release everyone

And, in humility, I set you free from me
My playing God is over
Now I surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender

[Verse 3]
I pray to be a bow
Upon my life affix an arrow
A dazzling weapon of your will

Like the poets says
"Let that string that sings be mine"
And as a simple truth of your desire
Remember, remember, remember
Pretender, pretender, pretender
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I surrender
I surrender
I surrender
Ooh, yes

I surrender
