I know what it's like to try to do it all
On your own and you think you're really on the ball
Instead of leanin; on the one who made you
Not leading to nothing good and you know it's true
I'll be the first to say I made a mess of my life
Bad relationships, partyin, aint living right
Until one day I threw my hands up in the kitchen
And I gave him all the keys to my ignition
UH OH UH OH
You try to do it on your own OH NO
Don't you know that you're not suppose to lean on yourself gotta trust in the Lord UH OH
UH OH UH OH
You try to do it on your own OH NO

You been doin' it your own way everyday
Thinkin everything's go'n be ok
But little do you know, His hand's not in it
It's just a matter of time before it
Comes to an end with that man you call boo
Or that job that you worked so hard to get to
You strivin' workin' so hard to make it happen
And all the while, His promise sittin' on the back end
UH OH UH OH
You try to do it on your own OH NO
Don't you know that you're not suppose to lean on yourself gotta trust in the Lord UH OH
UH OH UH OH
You try to do it on your own OH NO

Yo! Trust in the Lord, yo ALL your ways ALL your days
He promised he'll show you the PATH to take
Trust in Him from START to finish
Just make sure that your HEART is in it
It's HARD to scrimmage
The One who's UNDEFEATED
Understanding from self is NOT the key it's
WISDOM from supreme One, gonna need it
His ways are BEST, no WAY to BEAT it
Be BLESSED
Take your JOB
Take your KIDS
Take your MARRIAGE and
Take your FRIENDS!
Push all your cards to the center of the table
Give them to the one who's MORE THAN ABLE!
Hey yeah
He's Able
