Oh, the pride and the ego used to run my life
It's hard for me to say, but I was finally flat
All the power and the glory, yeah I had it all
Oh, the selfishness, that's where I was at
I forgot who I was
Lord, you know I forgot you
But you never forgot me
No, you never forgot me
Calling
Is in your hands, you've given everything to me
Lord, you are the reason I stand here today
Lifting my voice, raising you up, 'cause I believe
Oh, I believe I'm nothing, nothing without you
All my second chances, they were not deserved
Why you never gave up, it's a mystery
My strength is my faith and my faith is in you
Now I understand it's not about me
I'll not waste another day
Lord, use me as you will
I surrender all, I surrender all
Calling
Is in your hands, you've given everything to me
Lord, you are the reason I stand here today
Lifting my voice, raising you up, 'cause I believe
Oh, I believe I'm nothing, nothing without you
Nothing without you, nothing without you
