If I could only relax
If I could only sit back
If I could only breathe a sigh of relief
I've been wrestling with fear

I don't want any here
I just want my life full of joy and peace
Lord, I'm asking You now
Get this thing off of me

I can't do it myself
I need You to be Savior, set me free
Lord, I know it's not mine
I am casting my cares
I'm not taking it back
Just because it just wants to wrestle with me
It's a battle of wits
Between the soul and spirit
And the enemy wants to come between

I won't give in to those
As my love for You grows
I will give You my life for you to redeem
They won't rule in my life
All they do is cause strife
I will trust in You all my days
You will be by my side
As I take all in stride
And I will get through as long as I give You my praise
With my hands I raise

I will give You praise
To the end of my days
I will give You praise
Set the enemy back

He will go back a ways
When my hands I raise
And I give You praise
