[Verse 1]
I been holdin’ this line too long
Hands too tired, knees gone weak
Night got heavy on my shoulders
Trouble standin’ in the creek
I got dust on my good intentions
And a storm in my chest tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
So I bow my head
Down where mercy lives
I’m empty here
That’s all I got to give
[Chorus]
I surrender, Lord
I give up
I surrender, Lord
I give up
Take this hard old heart
And fill my cup
I surrender, Lord
I give up
[Verse 2]
My shoes been walkin’ hard roads
My name got worn by the wind
Every door I tried kept closin’
Every crowd let me in then spit me out again
But I heard a sweet voice callin’
From the edge of my broken night
[Pre-Chorus]
So I bow my head
Down where mercy lives
I’m empty here
That’s all I got to give
[Chorus]
I surrender, Lord
I give up
I surrender, Lord
I give up
Take this hard old heart
And fill my cup
I surrender, Lord
I give up
[Bridge]
[Male Vocal Ad-libs]
If You want my pride, take it
If You want my tears, here they are
I can’t save myself no further
I’ve drifted too far
Hear me now
[Chorus]
I surrender, Lord
I give up
I surrender, Lord
I give up
Take this hard old heart
And fill my cup
I surrender, Lord
I give up
[Outro]
I’m done fightin’
I’m done runnin’
I surrender, Lord
I give up
(yes I do)
