You’ve been trying to come to know JESUS,
My heart rejoices, is thankful and glad.
Yet when I see how you struggle,
My heart is continually sad.
You’re trying and trying all on your own
Not letting the LORD take complete control.
No wonder you’re not making progress
You still have a poor, sin-sick soul.
You’ve got to let go of all earthly things
And let the Lord have His way.
You must fully surrender to JESUS
Let HIM take full control.
He’ll help you find true happiness
He’ll make you glad and whole,
Only the MASTER can save you
For you and I He did die.
He’ll cleanse and make you free from sin
Your needs He will supply
So place full trust and faith in HIM
Who bore your sins alone.
With His help you’ll find real peace.
You can’t do it on your own.
