Glenn Kaiser - Self-control lyrics

It's the thing I lack most and it puts me in a bind The wise possess it, it brings them peace of mind Down in my soul, I need self-control Without it my mouth says terrible things Without it my hands work selfishness When it's lacking so do those that we love most Without it nobody wins, but everyone knows Down in our soul, we need self-control (BRIDGE) In my younger days, I didn t understand Surrendering myself was part of the plan Without giving it over, we can't receive All there is, all He has, for you and for me We need self-control It's the way of the Spirit and everyone knows That revealing moment when it all seems to flow Aint none of us have enough, but everyone sees That without it we steadily move From need to greed, Down in our souls we know we need self-control
