Thought I was bad and I had to get good
Thought I was smart but I misunderstood
Felt I was weak and I had to get strong
I was sure I was right then I found I was wrong
Thought I was lost and I had to get found
They called me square so I tried to get round
Felt I was lazy and I had to get busy
Swore I was high, but I was just plain dizzy
Now I really know like I never knew before
The Lord come a-knocking and I finally opened up the door, no doubt about it
Oh, sweet surrender, oh, sweet surrender, oh, sweet sur-ren-der, oh, sweet
surrender
Felt I was bored so I made a switch
Thought I was poor and I had to get rich
I was sure I was crazy and I had to get sane
That wasn't enough so I changed my name
Thought my image needed a pat on the back
I thought my ego needed a Cadillac
There I was sitting in the driver's seat
I was feeling low and still incomplete
Now I really know like I never knew before
The Lord come a-knocking and I finally opened up the door, no doubt about it
Oh, sweet surrender, oh, sweet surrender, oh, sweet sur-ren-der, oh, sweet
surrender
Oh, sweet surrender, You lift me higher
oh, sweet surrender, Yeah Sing
oh, sweet sur-ren-der, Amazing is your love
oh, sweet surrender You make me happy
Oh, sweet surrender, You know I finally stopped my running
oh, sweet surrender, finally stopped my running
oh, sweet sur-ren-der, Don't have to run
oh, sweet surrender Know exactly who I am. Let it go!
Oh, sweet surrender, Amazing is your love
oh, sweet surrender, You lift me higher, higher, higher
oh, sweet sur-ren-der, You lift me higher Lord!
oh, sweet surrender No doubt about it, singing,
Oh, sweet surrender, Laying back in Jesus arms
oh, sweet surrender, Oh sweet surrender
oh, sweet sur-ren-der, Let it go! Let it go!
oh, sweet surrender Don't work your way to heaven
Oh, sweet surrender, Let it go!
oh, sweet surrender, He loves you where you are!
oh, sweet sur-ren-der, Let it go!
oh, sweet surrender That's the good news people.
