Surrender - C.C. White

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

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

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
