Through my temptation to walk away,
and through the endless troubled days,
there's a hundred million ways,
for me to release your praise;
and by and by, and through the tears,
and things you've taught me through the years,
my whole life was designed by you,
I'll never know anyone half as true;


I lift it up, I lift it up,
lift it up so you can see,
I lift it up, I lift it up,
lift it up from inside of me;


So I lift it, I lift it up to you,
and I will never forget,
the times that we've been through,
so I lift it, I said I lift it up to you;
And I surrender all of me,
to you, to you, to you, and
everything I'll ever be, to you, to you, to you,
and I surrender all of me;

    General Comment:My favorite song too! (I think). Yeah it's great for worshiping and it's very touching. It's remembering all God has done and letting it all in His Hands.

    General Comment:This Song Is Definately My Favorite Song Of All Time. It's Basically Talking About How God Has Helped Him Through Everything And It's God Who Made Him The Way He Is No Matter What Has Happened. He Is Lifting Praise To His Savior, To Let God See How Grateful he Is For Everything That Has Been Done In His Life Through The Grace Of God :) ~AML

    General Comment:This is a really good band... alot of times, christian bands can get a little on the slow/sappy side but this is truly good rock. I'm gonna see their concert this summer... should be fun. Espec. since it's in my puny hometown. and free. (Gets the GLOWSTICKS)

    People tend to find me slightly strange because TFK is in my list of top 10 bands, and the others are very... violent...

    But I love that their are people out their who will sing this kind of music and it's awsome all the gospel stuff thats out there now :)

    Yay God

    General Comment:This song is spectacular!! in no way shape or form can this be about a girl. I mean who in thier right mind would lift praise to a woman, when the only one who deserves praise is God. Now you take the song how you want to take it. But keep an open mind and remember the band members are Christians and they make no effort in hiding it.

    General Comment:Respect for all opinions. Ignoring that "walking-catastrophe" is living a lie.
    Its not for a girl, a girl has never and will never design my life or be as true as my Lord and Savior and I certainly will not surrender my life to another human. I cant, its already Gods.
    He is lifting his Praise to God, because thats what it is all about, WORSHIP. thats all we can offer God that he doesnt have already. We can never worship enough and definately not too much.
    To "walking-catastrophe" there is something telling you that you like this song, and something else telling you to ignore that it is a worship song to God. it is the war with in. Satan wants you to ignore that fact, he wants some company for eternity.

    once anyone really understands this song, i cant describe the feeling i get, truely intimate with God
    TFK your awesome

    General Comment:"*ignores the fact that TFK are a Christian band*
    "

    Thats a really dumb statement. You can't just ignore that fact that a band is Christian. That's like ignoring the fact that Backstreet Boys are a boy band.(oh yea they suck too) Anyway, I agree with most of the comments on here except for walking-catastrophies.
