Trouble creeping out across the land Like a cold black cloud I can wither up and hide in fear Or I can shout out loud Oh, Father, mmm-mmm... I give it up to You I open up my heart and accept His grace Then I feel the healing sun shining on my face He's sailing on the wings of a snow-white dove I'll always have His sweet everlasting love (I'm givin' it up) I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it up Givin' it, givin' it up to You (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm givin' it up) I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it up Givin' it, givin' it up to You No need to wander too far off the path To find frustration and grief I ask the questions and a bridge appears Back to my sweet relief Oh, Father, mmm-mmm... I give it up to You I open up my heart and accept His grace Then I feel the healing sun shining on my face He's sailing on the wings of a snow-white dove I'll always have His sweet everlasting love No reason to run, no reason to hide I feel a deeper peace welling up inside When the spirit is weak and the well runs dry He carries me higher, higher, higher I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it up (I'm givin' it up) Givin' it, givin' it up to You I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it up (Ooh, I'm givin' it up, yeah) Givin' it, givin' it up to You None of us is ever too far gone Open up, sing His song I open up my heart and accept His grace Then I feel the healing sun shining on my face He's sailing on the wings of a snow-white dove I'll always have His sweet everlasting love No reason to run, no reason to hide, no I feel a deeper peace welling up inside When the spirit is weak and the well runs dry He carries me higher, higher, higher I open up my heart, I accept His grace Then I feel the healing sun shining on my face He's sailing on the wings of a snow-white dove I'll always have His sweet everlasting love No reason to run, no reason to hide, no I feel a deeper peace welling up inside When the spirit is weak and the well runs dry He carries me higher, higher, higher, yeah
