Satan said you can eat of the tree
The fruit will open up your eyes
Eve said, That looks good to me
I want to be wise
That is how all the trouble began
As a matter of pride
Man just had to have it his way
And now he's got to run and hide
Whoa, give it up and surrender
Whoa, give it up (give it up) and be free
Let that pride go and give up to God
And repent of that tree
Yeah, God sent the law to help us along
So that we might understand
Just exactly how to know right from wrong
And the weakness of man
Whoa, but still we turn our backs and run from it all
As a matter of pride
And when we do we stumble and fall
This could be a long hard ride
Whoa, give it up and surrender
Yeah, give it up (give it up) and be free
Let that pride go and give up to God
(Give it up) Give it up
(Give it up) Give it up
Be free
Let it go
Ahh, and now we get to the back of the book
As we run God's patience to the end
But still He's just and He's true to His word
His only Son He did send
Ahh, but still we go against the will of the Lord
In so much that we do
But still His love and His mercy doesn't fall
Salvation for me and you
I said, give it up and surrender
Give it up (give it up) and be free
Let that pride go and give up to God
And repent of that tree
I said, give it up (give it up) and surrender
Give it up (give it up) and be free
Let that pride go and give up to God
And repent of that tree
Whoa, give it up and surrender
(Give it up) Give it up
Give it up
Be free
And be free
