Give up, let Jesus take over

Oh, give up, let Jesus take over

Oh, give up, let Jesus take over, oh yeah

And He'll make a way for you

 

Well, if you've got mountains that you can't climb

Oh, and if you've got rivers that you can't cross

And if you've got valleys that you can't span

Let Jesus, let Jesus take a hold of your hand

 

Now if you got burdens too hard to bear

Oh, and if your load is more than your share

Kneel, kneel down, talk to Jesus because I, I know and I know He cares

And He'll, He'll make a way, make a way for us somehow

 

Sing it together, sing it, let Jesus take over

Oh, give up and let Jesus take over

Oh, give it up and let Jesus take over

And He'll make a way, say He'll make a way

He'll make a way for you
