Surrender Everything

A song created to capture my struggles with food addiction.

"Surrender Everything"

(Slow, soulful, acoustic vibe)

[Verse 1]
I've been fighting this battle,
Like I’m stronger than the pain.
White-knuckling through hunger,
But it always ends the same.
I’ve tried a thousand promises,
Made to myself alone—
But willpower breaks like water
On the coldest, hardest stone.

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t win this war by standing tall,
The higher I climb, the harder I fall.

[Chorus] (Hook)
I’ve gotta surrender everything,
Drop the weight of my pride.
Admit I’m powerless to fight what's deep inside.
There’s a Hand reaching for me
When I’m down on my knees.
Only God can set me free—
So I surrender everything.

[Verse 2]
I kept chasing the feeling,
Like control would make me whole.
But the more I held the reins,
The more I lost my soul.
There’s a crack in my defenses
Where the truth is shining through—
Step one broke me open,
Now I see what I must do.

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t fix myself with my own mind,
But there's peace if I just resign.

[Chorus] (Hook)
I’ve gotta surrender everything,
Drop the weight of my pride.
Admit I’m powerless to fight what's deep inside.
There’s a Hand reaching for me
When I’m down on my knees.
Only God can set me free—
So I surrender everything.

[Bridge]
Step one, I’m broken.
Step two, I believe.
Step three, I let go
So He can carry me.
It’s not my fight, it never was—
I need the grace of God’s love.

[Chorus] (Hook)
I’ve gotta surrender everything,
Drop the weight of my pride.
Admit I’m powerless to fight what's deep inside.
There’s a Hand reaching for me
When I’m down on my knees.
Only God can set me free—
So I surrender everything.

[Outro]
Yeah, I surrender everything...
To the One who sets me free.
