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
