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
