I tried to run
I tried to fight You, I'm done
I'm giving up
I've learned to trust You, Your love
Now I'm singing
Can You take over, take over? Can You take over me?
I've been here over and over again here on my knees
I'm only closer and closer to where I wanna be
When You take over, take over, can You take over me?
I tried before
To let go and I just hold on more
Amazing Lord
I need the strength to let go and be Yours
So now I'm singing
Can You take over, take over? Can You take over me?
I've been here over and over again here on my knees
I'm only closer and closer to where I wanna be
When You take over, take over, can You take over me?
I surrender all I have
And I surrender all I am
As I remember
What You've done to set me free
I just wanna sing
Can You take over, take over? Can You take over me?
I've been here over and over again here on my knees
I'm only closer and closer to where I wanna be
When You take over, take over, can You take over me?
Can You take over, take over? Can You take over me?
I've been here over and over again here on my knees
I'm only closer and closer to where I wanna be
When You take over, take over, can You take over me?
Take over me
Take over me
