[N] [D] Yeah, I know what a [A] calling is.
We all have a calling in our life, I [Bm] believe.
I'm from the dirt, man.
I come up in these [Em] streets.
Went [A] without eating.
You know what I'm saying?
Saw my mom [Gbm] go without eating.
I [Dbm] got tired of that.
I had to get out there in them streets and hustle.
[Bm] You know what I'm saying?
[Em] I mean, see, it's for y'all to [A] say, surrender your life.
[D] You know what I'm saying?
Give your life to God [A] and all that.
That's good.
I believe in God.
[Bm] But when you got bills at your front door all the [Em] time, you know what I'm saying?
Kids screaming, Daddy, [D] Mama, where the food at?
Man, it makes it kind of [Dbm] hard to believe in, you know, to have faith in something [Bm] that
you can't see.
Even though you want to [Em] believe, y [A]'all just want to pray for me.
You know what I'm saying?
Because, uh
Constantly, my mind and my heart is racing.
[Bm] All by myself, [Em] trying to solve [A] all of these problems I'm facing.
Looking to man, [Db] trying to find hope.
[Bm] But man will never [Em] know the depth of my struggles.
[D]
I was depending on [Gbm] myself to give myself a hand.
[Bm] But when depending on [E] myself, I [A] found time again.
That's [D] why I'm standing here alone, [Dbm] with no one [Bm] else.
Lord, I realize that I can't fight [Em] these battles by [Eb] myself.
I [A] surrender, I surrender, I [Bm] surrender to you, [Em] Lord.
[A] I surrender,
[D] I [A] surrender, I [Bm] surrender to you, [Em] Lord.
[Eb] I [D] surrender, I surrender, I [Gbm] surrender to [Bm] you, [E] Lord.
[Gbm] [D] Coming out with both hands up, I [A] surrender.
[G] [A]
I tried everything I could to make it work.
[Bm] But everything I [Em] seemed to try [A] just made it worse.
[D] And every road that [A] I go down, [Dbm] there were no [Bm] signs.
Destination lonely, with [G] no peace of mind.
[A]
I was depending on [Gbm] myself to give myself a hand.
[Bm] But when depending on [E] myself, I found [A] time again.

There's [Gbm] nowhere for me to go.
[E] Joy, I have tried to find.
See, I've [Bm] searched high and I've [A] searched low.
Since you called, the world fulfilled you.
So come and rescue me from this hell.
