I've been through a lot in the last few years, yeah
Depending how you know me
It's definitely not as it appears, no
And some days are cloudy and some are real clear
Carry me through it that's glory
Got another new chapter to my story
Every morning, eyes open and I feel that joy
Still learning how to practice real patience
Like a child with a brand new toy
And some days I'm weak but I still got a choice
So I choose love, I choose peace
I celebrate every victory, yeah
Lift my hands up to the sky
And I raise my voice
Do what you gon' do to make me new
The only love I know that's rooted in truth
That's why I look to You to carry me through
Yeah
I need to be a better son
Call my parents more than once a month
They deserve to know I love them some
A thank you goes a real long way
Especially to fathers who were there each day
And honour your mother cuz mama knows best
If you ever hurt them, say sorry
You owe them your life and you know it
Love never fails that's abundantly clear
Make no mistake that this world is much better
When we operate in our faith over fear
But you need to release the joy inside
Where there is light there's no place for darkness to hide
So I
Lift my hands up to the sky
And I raise my voice
Do what you gon' do to make me new
The only love I know that's rooted in truth
That's why I look to You to carry me through
That's what we gotta do
That's what God just wants us to do, yeah
You just got to release it, mmHmm
You just gotta do what God's telling you to do yeah
I said you just gotta do what God's telling you to do
You just gotta do what God's telling you to do
But you need to release all the joy deep inside got the source He supplies it
