I had my pride

I had my prayers

I had my good intentions

Thought I was strong and in control

Thought I was self-sufficient

In my delusion I thought I had everything

My narrow mind made me blind

And You had to let me fall

To finally make me see



I need Your light, lead me

I need Your word, feed me

I need to know what I need

Show me my emptiness

So You can fill it with

Everything You want for me

It took so long for me to realize

I need



You saw right through

These paper walls

That I had built around me

Your holy fire burned them down

And now Your love surrounds me

In the ashes I can clearly see the proof

My own strength is my own weakness

Lord, I surrender

Because I'm helpless without You
