Give It All to Him

With a pounding heart inside my chest

New shoes on my feet

I tell her goodbye one last time

Tear rolls down her cheek

She says I love you son

And just like that I'm gone

With eighteen years behind me

I've got a whole life full of dreams

I spent countless nights asking God

Down there on my knees

And pretty soon I knew

What I had to do

So with a smile on my face

And a prayer in my heart

With my whole world behind me

My life's about to start

I can't count all the blessings

That are waiting in the end

So I forget myself and give it all to him

With a broken heart and trembling knees

I kneel down to pray

It's not been easy so far

It seems harder every day

I ask God above

Please hear your son

I've been away from home now

Going on a year

There's so much that I miss

And so much that I love here

And that's when I began

To start to understand

So with a smile on my face

And a prayer in my heart

With my whole world behind me

My life's about to start

I can't count all the blessings

That are waiting in the end

So I forget myself and give it all to him

And I've got my plans, I've got my hopes

For what he has in store

But when we leave it in his hands

He gives us so much more

With a pounding heart inside my chest

Pair of worn out shoes

I throw my arms around her

And say mom we made it through

She says, I missed you son

And just like that I'm home

With two quick years behind me

I've got a whole life full of dreams

My God has made a man of me

And we make quite a team

I changed while I was gone

So from now on

With a smile on my face

And a prayer in my heart

With my whole world behind me

My life's about to start

I can't count all the blessings

That are waiting in the end

So I forget myself and give it all to

Him
