I Surrender

To lose my vice
Is less of me to give
And this world
Has a big appetite for all
I only disdain
That any some of me
Should conquer all of me
The battle rages
Between the vices and the virtues
For loves domain
Lord, dispatch me now your troops
To keep not peace
But to conquer all
I surrender all to you
