Relent Lyrics

If I gained the world would it be worth the price?
To work these hands to death and not be satisfied
If every effort brought another sleepless night
I'd be so tired

I have strived enough to know that this divide
Could never be repaired through countless second tries
Still I stay the course avoiding what is right
Now I'm so tired, I'm just so tired

I relent, there is nothing for me here
You can have it all, this life is not my own
You give life that is worth the loss of mine
I surrender all I have to follow You

I have traded cherished truth for worthless lies
Raging through the earth for treasure I couldn't find
Wallowed in the mud for nothing but my pride
And I'm so tired, I'm just so tired

I relent, there is nothing for me here
You can have it all, this life is not my own
You give life that is worth the loss of mine
I surrender all I have to follow You

I just want to live in peace
But I'm struggling to believe
That letting go will bring me peace
Can I sit here at your feet?
'Cause this is right where I belong
Yeah, I can feel it in my soul
You say I'm right where I belong
And I know that I belong
Yeah, I know that I belong
Yeah, I know that I belong
I know that I belong

I relent, there is nothing for me here
You can have it all, this life is not my own
You give life that is worth the loss of mine
I surrender all I have to follow You
