Lord this is my prayer:
When I'm pushed against the canvas
And I have no place to go
I will come here in your presence
To the only hope I know!
And here I'll find the strength to carry on!
When I've been fighting in the trenches
And there's no victory in sight
All my enemies are circling
Here to crash me with their might!
But here I'll find the strength to carry on!
Lord I surrender
In this battle that I'm in
Lord I surrender
I'm giving up so I can win!
I'm weak you're strong
You're right I'm wrong!
Lord I surrender
I'm giving up so I can win
Lord I'm here without a friend today
Lord I'm at my wits end today
Lord though I've gone to school
The biggest lesson I learnt I'm still a fool!
I made a lot of money so I could push it to my problems
Only to find out in the end I still couldn't solve 'em!
Every week I sit on the pews
I pay my dues
Only to find I'm still confused
Or I'm getting used!
Every second I'm billing hours
Building towers
Talk about power
Yeah I sit on my throne!
Only to find I still ain't shit on my own!
"You're tallest on your knees" or so they say
So Jesus please help me be tall today
Help me find the way teach me how to pray
I'm tired of being just a contender
I wanna win and for that I gotta surrender!
Lord I surrender
In this battle that I'm in!
Lord I surrender
I'm giving up so I can win!
I'm weak you're strong!
You're right I'm wrong!
Lord I surrender
I'm giving up so I can win!
Here I find the strength to carry on
With you with you!
Lord I surrender
In this battle that I'm in!
Lord I surrender
I'm giving up so I can win!
I'm weak you're strong!
You're right I'm wrong!
Lord I surrender
I'm giving up so I can win!
I'm giving up so I can win!
I'm tired of being just a contender
I wanna win and for that I gotta surrender!
