how many times have i turned away
the number is the same
as the sand on the shore
but everytime You've taken me back
and now i pray You do it once more
please take from me my life
when i don't have the strength
to give it away to You Jesus
how many times have i turned away
the number is the same
as the stars in the sky
but everytime You've taken me back
and now i pray You do it tonight.
and there'll be times
when the only one you can lean on
is that big guy up in the sky.
and usually, he makes the big effort
to come down right beside you
to hug you when you're on your knees
and crying your heart out
and lifts the weight of the world
off your shoulders,
and then you smile, amidst all those tears,
because you know that although
you feel so alone, you're far from it -
that big guy's right beside you,
every single step of the way.
so pray, he's listening to your every word.
i'm sure, 'cos he listens to mine.
and i'm surrendering my life to him.
so take from me my life Jesus,
it belongs to you.
i belong to you. keep me strong god, please.
