From the day, you are born
There's a battle goin' on in your soul
Comes a time in your life
When you've gotta give Somebody control
This is it, time is now
And the change should be like day and night
It's so hard, to hold out
But it's easy when you give up the fight
All your life, He's wanted you
He's cared for you, I'm tellin' you
Now you know He loves you so
Surrender! Surrender!
You can't stop, love like this
It keeps goin' even when it's denied
It's no use to resist
And I can't imagine why you would try
It's a fight, you can't win
Cause the power of His love is so strong
Let it loose, just give in
And you'll finally find the place you belong
All your life, He's wanted you
He's cared for you, I'm tellin' you
Now you know He loves you so
Surrender! Surrender!
Woah-oh-oh
If you think, what you'll gain
You will see that you've got nothin' to lose
If you count, all the cost
It will never match what He'll do for you
When you give all your life
That's when He will give your life back to you
If it means, peace of mind
Then surrender is the best thing to do
All your life, He's wanted you
He's cared for you, I'm tellin' you
Now you know He loves you so
Surrender! oh-oh-oh
All your life, He's wanted you
He died for you, I'm beggin' you
Now you know you can't go wrong
Surrender! Surrender!
Surrender!
All your life, He's wanted you
He died for you, I'm tellin' you
Now you know you can't go wrong
Surrender! Surrender!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh!
