CHORUS
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things that I cannot change oh
and God please grant me the courage
to change the things that only I can
and at the start of each new day
there's one more thing I pray
God please grant me the wisdom
to know the difference.

The need in me to control
was established long ago
I had no one to trust
survival was a must
the driving force in me was fear
the only thing to do
was take control and run the show
it's the only thing I knew.

CHORUS

The power is not in me
to set somebody free
to change a person, place, or thing
just who am I tryin to be
but when I chose to just let go
His power comes alive
the changes in me start to show
as His love begins to thrive.

CHORUS
