Looking back on how it used to be I used to live my life so selfishly I thought that I could make it on my own Harsh words to those who really cared I denied the truth when it was right there Tried to tell myself I'm fine alone I can't wait another day, I gotta get this straight tonight I need to give you full control of me I can't wait another day, I gotta get this straight tonight I need to give you full control of me Sometimes it's harder than it seems To follow God and not your own dreams My flesh can get the best of me But when I finally learn to shut my mouth And let your forgiveness clean me out That's when I learn what I can be Searchin' for myself, or anybody else To guide me where to go Lord, hear my broken cries and open up my eyes Show me what I need to know
