Surrendering Control

If I control my life
I've seen what I can do
Allow sin and this world
to pull me far from You

If I control my life
I've watched the mess I make
When I do the things that hurt you most
and the hearts that I can break

If I control my life
it's kingdoms that I build
Not for You, but this world
and I'm empty ever still

If I control my life
it's blessings that I miss
As I fight for things I want
and miss what You can give

If I control my life
I take control from You
And damage everything You've built
to make me look like You

But it's when I give up my control
and lay it at Your feet
I find the peace I'm longing for
and the rest my soul so needs

When I surrender to You my life
And let you have control
You do the things I cannot do
and Your blessings now will flow

When I surrender to You my life
it's other lives I touch
And the things I thought I needed bad
I now don't need so much

When I surrender to You my life
I see what YOU can do
And giving up all that control
let's others see You too

So I give You my control God
and ask You take it all
Let nothing be worth keeping
that could cause me still to fall

In love I do surrender
and surrender just to You
Please guide me Holy Spirit
As it's Your work I now do!
