Surrender

Nothing worse than feeling like it's nothing left to give
I done gave it all I got I swear I'm startin' to see my ribs
Chasing for success gon' bring you nothing but depression
It will take your purpose from you 'fore you give it to your kids
Years of my life I've threw away to my aggression
Image of myself I sculpt away like an obsession
Buried my mistakes and threw a stone above the grave
'Til He sent Jesus round my side and rolled that stone up out the way
Once more, couldn't believe what I done covered over time
Instead of facing my emotions I was running from my mind
Too scared to look behind, thinking forward is the only option
Nobody gon' stop 'em I ain't even read the signs
I was convinced this life was fine and can't nobody tell me otherwise
Wish I realized that I was wasting so much time
That's when He opened up my eyes and said (I need to give it to you)
And then it hit me man this life was never mine

Trials and tribulations
Running out of time I had to slide my limitations
Feeding on the word I opened up my invitation
Cover up my wounds for what He came to heal the nation
This is just the part the healing starts this the beginning of
Digging out the inner us
Spill the lies and fill the cup runneth over
Went from a sprint to marathon I started running slower
And boy the things I done seen wake you right out your dreams
When reality catch you at worse feel like a curse that's what it had to be
Staring at your demons make you think assault and battery
Isn't that the thesis automatically
You could change your life into a blessing from a tragedy
God willing I been in the toughest battles had my top missing
Wishing I knew I couldn't lose cause it was not written
I had the victory all along and I was never on my own
No He been with me all along hol' up
