Not in my strength but yours
Not in my will but yours
Not in my way
Not in my day
But only through you Lord

Not in my grace but yours
Not my mercy but yours
Not what I think
Not what I bring
But the off ‘ring you require

Only by you can I overcome
This world is too strong for me
Only in you can the fight be won
Help me to yield
Help me to yield

I don’t need my joy but yours
I don’t need my peace but yours
Not my own self
Not my thought life
I don’t need my love but yours

I have tried everything I know how and failed
There is no way to victory on my own
I need to give you my life
As a living sacrifice
That is the only way to come through

Only by you can I overcome
This world is too strong for me
Only in you can the fight be won
Help me to yield
Help me to yield
