Jared Anderson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come like You promised You would
I want to surrender for good
Know that I need You
And I don't want to keep living life alone

So take my heart make it new
Make it true, make it like You
Take my hands, I lift them high

They're Yours not mine to do

Do what You will
Do what You will
Do what You will

I feel like a blind man in Your sight
I know that I'm wicked in Your eyes
So wash me and make me shine like Your Son
I want to tell everyone that You're the only one

So take my heart make it new
Make it true, make it like You
Take my hands
(My hands)
I lift them high
(So high)
They're Yours not mine to do

Do what You will
Do what You will
Do what You will, oh

I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
Do what You will

I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
Do what You will

I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
Do what You will

I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Take my heart and make it new
Make it true, make it like You
Take my hands
(My hands)
I lift them high
(So high)
They're Yours not mine to do

Do what You will
Do what You will
Do what You will, oh

Do what You will
Do what You will
Do what You will, oh

Come and take my heart
Take my heart
(Take my hands)
Oh, I lift them high
(So high)
They're Yours not mine
To do what You will
Do what You will

(Do what You will)
Do what You will
