WHEN GOD FIRST CALLED ME I WASN’T SURE, ‘CAUSE I’D NEVER HEARD HIM BEFORE
YET I CHOSE TO RUN RIGHT OUT THE DOOR
I FEARED HE’D SEE MY FAITH WAS WEAK, SO I TRIED TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK
MAYBE IF I COULD SNEEK BACK HOME, HE WOULD LEAVE ME ALONE
‘CAUSE HE’S MORE THAN I CAN HANDLE

IT SEEMED I GOT AWAY WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT
AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT
BUT THERE WAS A LESSON I WAS GONNA BE TAUGHT
HE SAID: “YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE
I’M ALWAYS WITH YOU FOR I LIVE INSIDE
FIGHT AND YOU’RE IN FOR A BUMPY RIDE
YET YOU WILL BECAUSE OF YOUR PRIDE
BUT I’M MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE”

I DIDN’T WANT TO BUY IT YET IT SOUNDED TRUE, BUT HOW COULD THAT REALLY BE
I COULD SEE GOD LIVING INSIDE OF YOU, BUT WHAT WOULD HE BE DOING IN ME

I FINALLY GOT THE COURAGE TO ASK AND SEE, WHAT THE LORD DESIRED OF ME
HE ONLY WANTED TO SET ME FREE
YET I FOUGHT WITH ALL THE STRENGTH I HAD
EVEN FOUND NEW WAYS TO MAKE HIM REAL MAD
A FIRE IN ME WAS STARTING TO BURN, BUT I’M STUBBORN AND REFUSED TO LEARN
HE’S MORE THAN I CAN HANDLE

I STILL CRAVED THAT FORBIDDEN FRUIT I WASN’T SUPPOSED TO DESIRE
YET I ENDED UP THE LORD’S ARMY RECRUIT, WHEN HE BAPTIZED ME WITH FIRE

I KNEW I’D LOST THE FIGHT AND HAD TO LET GO
LET HIM TEACH WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW
ABUNDANT LOVE HE WOULD ALWAYS SHOW
THOUGH I STILL STRUGGLE EVERY DAY, IT BEATS LIFE BEFORE I LEARNED TO PRAY
THE SPIRIT IN ME WILL ALWAYS YEARN, AND I’M FINALLY READY TO LEARN
HE’S ALL THAT I CAN HANDLE

I’LL NEVER NEED ANYTHING ELSE, HE’S ALL THAT I CAN HANDLE

OH MY GOD, YOU’LL ALWAYS BE, ALL… I CAN HANDLE
