[verse 1]
I marched with banners woven of my pride,
To fight the battles raging in my chest.
I sought the heights with no one as my guide,
And found but shadows, failure, and unrest.
But then I heard the Spirit softly plead:
"Lay down your sword and let the Father lead."
[chorus]
We struggle,toil, wrestle and climb, but,
we just have to kneel sometimes.
He promised, all that we need in this life,
if, only we’d yield some time
[repeat once]
[verse 2]
I dropped the weight of heavy, rusted mail,
The armor of a self-reliant mind.
I learned that where my frantic efforts fail,
His perfect peace is waiting there to find.
For victory is not a prize I seize,
It is a gift received upon my knees.
[chorus]
We struggle,toil, wrestle and climb, but,
we just have to kneel sometimes.
He promised, all that we need in this life,
if, only we’d yield some time
[repeat once]
[verse 3]
The walls of Jericho began to shake,
Not by the power of a human hand,
But by the silence that the faithful make
When they obey a King’s divine command.
To lose my will is not to lose the day;
It is to clear the thorns and find the Way.
[chorus]
We struggle,toil, wrestle and climb, but,
we just have to kneel sometimes.
He promised, all that we need in this life,
if, only we’d yield some time
[repeat once]
[bridge]
So let the storm clouds gather in the sky,
And let the giants mock me from the hill.
I have an Advocate who dwells on high,
Whose strength is perfected when I am still.
I bow my head, the surrender is complete,
And find my triumph at the Savior’s feet.
[chorus]
We struggle,toil, wrestle and climb, but,
we just have to kneel sometimes.
He promised, all that we need in this life,
if, only we’d yield some time
[repeat twice]
