God Take Your Place
Surrendered Heart: Letting God Take His Place
Lyrics
When did I stop looking for your glory
Reflecting on a time when the speaker stopped seeking God's glory.
When did my eyes turn from your face
Expressing a shift in attention away from God's presence.
I don't know why I left your table
Admitting uncertainty about the reasons for leaving God's presence.
When you were there asking me to stay
Regret over leaving despite God's invitation to stay.
You gave me worth you gave me purpose
Acknowledging that God provided worth and purpose.
Then I went and gave it all away
Regret for squandering the worth and purpose received from God.
You say I am Yours and still forgiven
Affirmation of being claimed by God and forgiven.
You say that Your mercies never change
Reassurance in the constancy of God's mercies.
God take your place in the center of my heart
Invocation for God to reclaim a central place in the speaker's heart.
Come and have your way
Inviting God to take control and guide the speaker's life.
Let no other love remain sustained
Desire for God's love to be the sole sustaining force.
Come take every part, come and have your way
Request for God to take control of every aspect of the speaker's being.
I've got nothing left for me to lose
Acknowledgment of having nothing left to lose personally.
There's nothing more for me to gain
Recognition that material gains hold no more significance.
There's nothing else I need to prove
Affirmation that there is nothing left to prove to oneself or others.
Cause I still belong to You the same
Reassurance that the speaker still belongs to God.
God take your place in the center of my heart
Repetition of the desire for God to hold a central place in the heart.
Come and have your way
Reiteration of the invitation for God to guide and lead.
Let no other love remain sustained
Desire for God's love to be the sustaining force in life.
Come take every part, come and have your way
Continued plea for God to take control of every aspect of life.
My heart belongs to You
Affirmation that the speaker's heart belongs to God.
Your blood flows within my veins
Acknowledgment of the divine presence in the speaker's blood.
My mind belongs to You
Acknowledgment that the speaker's mind is aligned with God's ways.
Your ways are higher than my ways
Acknowledgment of the divine wisdom surpassing human understanding.
My hands I lift to You
Surrendering the speaker's actions and efforts to God.
For you have broken every chain
Recognition of God breaking chains of bondage.
My voice I raise to You
Dedication of the speaker's voice to worship, even in difficult times.
And I will worship through my pain
Commitment to worshiping God despite experiencing pain.
Oh, God take your place in the center of my heart
Repetition of the plea for God to take a central place in the heart.
Come and have your way
Continued invitation for God to guide and lead.
Let no other love remain sustained
Desire for God's love to be the sustaining force in life.
Come take every part, come and have your way
Continued plea for God to take control of every aspect of life.
Come have Your way
Repetition of the invitation for God to have His way.
Come have Your way, come and have Your way
Reiteration of the invitation for God to have His way.
Come have Your way, oh in the center of my heart
Repetition of the plea for God to take a central place in the heart.
Come have Your way, oh
Reiteration of the invitation for God to have His way.
Come have Your way, come and have Your way
Final repetition of the plea for God to have His way.
