Who will I be today the lover or the mob
Oh it all depends
On the suffering and tragedy the day has brought
And what will I bring You
Submission without question
What can I offer
That You don't give to me
You can see
You can see right through me
Can I be
Can I be free
Finally
Finally I'm raising up my hands in surrender
Help me Jesus be my hero
Help me my hero
How many days
Will I wallow in my rebellion
How many times will I deny the inside
Of my white washed tomb
Oh Father please come cover me
Rescue me from my self
Oh Abba please
Embrace this wayward child
