I’ve tried so many things in my life,
But I don’t understand this emptiness I feel inside.
I thought these things would satisfy,
But I keep coming back, to the same old doubts I tried to hide
Oh the booze, the drugs, the pain
Will nothing ever change or will it all just stay the same?
And you wonder how I sleep at night
Would I surrender to the living Christ?
And you wonder if I’d die tonight
Would I surrender to the living Christ?
And you wonder how I sleep at night
Would I surrender to the living Christ?
Oh I see where you stand
I used to be that man running from his plan
With this God-shaped hole in my heart
There was nothing that could impart
This new-found joy in God
Left my sin at the foot of the cross,
When he redeemed me from the lost
There’s something about the name Jesus
He’ll wipe every tear away
And I wonder how you sleep at night
Would you surrender to the living Christ?
And I wonder if you’d die tonight
Would you surrender to the living Christ?
And I wonder how you sleep at night
Would you surrender to the living Christ?
