Who was I to try to live without you
Thinking I could do things my own way
Lord I know that I should never doubt you
I get so lost and lonely when I stray
Now it’s time to
Surrender to you
‘Cause I’m just a man who believes
And it’s you that I need
Whatever it takes
That’s what I’ll do
I’d give anything to get back to you
I know I was wrong
And I’ve made some mistakes
But I’m gonna do whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
In a world of darkness and temptation
Only you can give me eyes to see
Father you’re my strength and my salvation
I trust you’ll show me who I’m supposed to be
I will follow
Anywhere that you lead
For it’s your will not mine
I’m gonna prove it this time
Whatever it takes
That’s what I’ll do
I’d give anything to get back to you
I know I was wrong
And I’ve made some mistakes
But I’m gonna do whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
I’m standin’ here ’cause I’ve got nothing to lose
I lost it all when I walked away from you
This time around
I won’t let you down
