Give Up and Pray

Sometimes you gotta

stop fighting Stop worrying Lift your hands and say… Give

up

and

pray.

I’ve been walking through the fire,

Trying to make it on my own,

Every door I tried to open

Felt like another one was closed.

I cried when no one saw me,

I smiled when I was breaking,

But somewhere in the silence

I heard You say,

“Keep waiting.” So I’ll put my burdens down,

I don’t have to figure it out,

If tomorrow feels uncertain,

I know Who holds tomorrow now.

Give up and pray,

give up and pray,

Give your worries to the Father,

He will make a way.

Give up and pray,

give up and pray,

When you’ve done all you can do,

Just let God have His way.

Don’t give up on your faith,

Don’t give up on your praise,

Give up the fear,

give up the pain— Give up and pray.

Maybe you’re waiting for an answer,

Maybe you’re asking, “Lord,

how long?” Maybe you feel like you’ve been forgotten,

But He’s been with you all along.

What He promised, He will finish,

What He started, He will do,

You may not see the picture,

But He sees the whole thing through.

When I’m weak—You are strong.

When I’m lost—You lead me on.

When I’m tired—You give me strength.

When I fall—You lift me again.

I surrender…

I surrender…

Every burden, every fear,

I surrender it right here.

Give up and pray!

Give it all to Jesus!

Give up and pray!

He will never leave us!

Give up the fear!

Give up the pain!

Give up the tears!

He’ll make a way!

Give up and pray!

Give up and pray!

When you’ve done all you can do— LET GOD HAVE HIS WAY!

(yeah, yeah!) So when life gets heavy… Don’t give up.

Give it to God.

Lift your hands… Close your eyes… And give up and pray
