Verse 1: I've been walking down this lonely road so long Carrying the weight of everything I done wrong My soul's been heavy, my heart's been aching blue Lord, I finally figured out what I need to do Been running from Your mercy, running from Your grace But I can't run no further, it's time I faced my fate

Chorus: What I need to do is fall down on my knees Ask the Lord for forgiveness, set my spirit free What I need to do is lay my burdens down Let His love wash over me, turn my life around I've been lost too long, wandering in the dark What I need to do is surrender Him my heart Yeah, that's what I need to do

Verse 2: I've tried to fix myself with my own two hands Built my house on sinking sand instead of solid land The bottle didn't help me, money couldn't save my soul I've been digging myself deeper in this hole But I heard somebody say that it's never too late To come back home to Jesus, walk through Heaven's gate

Chorus: What I need to do is fall down on my knees Ask the Lord for forgiveness, set my spirit free What I need to do is lay my burdens down Let His love wash over me, turn my life around I've been lost too long, wandering in the dark What I need to do is surrender Him my heart Yeah, that's what I need to do

Bridge: The preacher said His mercy's waiting there for me That the blood of Jesus Christ can set a sinner free I don't have to be perfect, don't have to have it all He'll catch me if I'm willing just to fall Into His loving arms, into His amazing grace I can feel Him calling me back to that sacred place

Verse 3: So I'm walking down this church aisle with tears upon my face Every step I'm taking, I can feel His sweet embrace The choir's singing "Amazing Grace," how sweet the sound I was lost but now I'm found, my feet on solid ground I've wasted so much time trying to do it on my own Now I know what I need to do is let Him lead me home

Final Chorus: What I need to do is fall down on my knees Thank the Lord for forgiveness, He has set me free What I need to do is live for Him each day Walk in His light and follow His way I was lost so long, stumbling in the dark What I needed to do was surrender Him my heart Yeah, that's what I needed to dooooooooooo Oh Lord, that's what I need to do

Outro: I'm a new creation, washed in the blood Saved by His mercy, covered in His love What I need to do is tell the world He's real Share this redemption, share the way I feel If you're lost like I was, broken and alone What you need to do is let Jesus bring you home That's what you need to do Oh, that's what we all need to dooooooooooo
