| 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 |
