It's the thing I lack most and it puts me in a bind |
|
The wise possess it, it brings them peace of mind |
|
Down in my soul, I need self-control |
|
Without it my mouth says terrible things |
|
Without it my hands work selfishness |
|
When it's lacking so do those that we love most |
|
Without it nobody wins, but everyone knows |
|
Down in our soul, we need self-control |
|
(BRIDGE) |
|
In my younger days, I didn |
|
t understand |
|
Surrendering myself was part of the plan |
|
Without giving it over, we can't receive |
|
All there is, all He has, for you and for me |
|
We need self-control |
|
It's the way of the Spirit and everyone knows |
|
That revealing moment when it all seems to flow |
|
Ain |
|
t none of us have enough, but everyone sees |
|
That without it we steadily move |
|
From need to greed, |
|
Down in our souls we know we need self-control |
