It seems the things of this world always get me down

It seems I have to look up just to see the ground

But when I'm feeling weak, then I fall on my knees

For I know that that's the place where I am made strong

 

It seems it's hard to change no matter how I try

It seems my prayers bounce off of a brazen sky

Then I scream out my prayer, can't make it on my own

And then He's there with His mighty arm

 

CHORUS:

In everything I do, in everything I say

Teach me Lord, to be Yours today

 

What I want to do is not what I do

What I hate to do, that is what I do

But He entered into this wretched man I am

He's changing my heart into the image of Him

 

Complete surrender is what He requires

His sole control is what my heart desires

And though the path is dark and the road seems rough

His loving hand guides me through the mire

 

(chorus)
