Best Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes life can weigh upon your shoulders (Oh)
Pressure, to heavy for me to shoulder
But when I just hand it over
You take it, Lord, and make it light
Whatever's left, You make it right for me
God, for me
I find my life when I lose it in You (Lose it in You)
I gain control when I give it to You (Give it to You)
I save myself when I let You save me (Let You save me)
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is You (Oh-oh)
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is You
Sometimes there are things I question
But I do it without God who answers questions
So I try to figure it out myself but I learned my lesson
You take the load and make it light
Whatever's dim, You make it bright for me yeah
God, for me-e-e-e yeah
I find my life when I lose it in You (Lose it in You)
I gain control when I give it to You, ooh (Give it to You)
I save myself when I let You save me (Let You save me)
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is You (Oh-oh)
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is You
Oh, I
Oh, I
I finally know what real love is like and
Oh, I
Oh, I
And I can't believe it took all this time
Oh, I
Oh, I
I'm glad I got a friend in this fire (I got a friend in this fire)
I love You to life, oh-oh
I find my life when I lose it in You
I gain control when I give it to You, ooh (Give it to You)
I save myself when I let You save me
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is You
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is You
