Control
Surrendering Control: A Journey of Faith and Doubt
Lyrics
Here's a wild thought that just popped into head
Introducing the idea of a spontaneous thought.
Maybe God knows more about me more than I ever did
Contemplating the notion that God understands the speaker better than they understand themselves.
When he says to walk tall and I wanna sit down
Reflecting on the conflict between the desire to sit down and God's call to walk tall.
Why is it so hard to get my butt up off the ground
Expressing the difficulty of overcoming inertia and taking action.
Seem like a crazy thing to say
Acknowledging the seemingly unconventional nature of the previous thoughts.
Don't wanna hand over the reins
Resisting the idea of relinquishing control.
Maybe I need a little faith
Considering the need for faith in God.
if You're who you say you are
Questioning the identity of God and seeking confirmation.
The God who holds a billion stars
Highlighting God's vastness and power as the creator of stars.
Then why am I still fighting for control?
Expressing the ongoing struggle for control despite acknowledging God's greatness.
If You're who You say You are
Reiterating the need to trust God based on His identity.
Then I should trust you with my heart and soul
Emphasizing the challenge of entrusting the heart and soul to God.
Man it's hard to do
Expressing the difficulty of fully surrendering to God.
(To give it all to you)
Further emphasizing the challenge of giving everything to God.
Jesus take the wheel
Metaphorically asking Jesus to take control of the speaker's life.
Said it so many times
Acknowledging repeated requests for divine guidance.
While I tell You where to go and try to keep You in line
Admitting the tendency to dictate God's path and attempt to control His actions.
Afraid that You're wrong
Expressing fear that God's guidance may be incorrect.
Leaning into my doubt
Admitting to doubts and hesitations.
Are you really big enough that you can work all this out?
Pondering God's capability to resolve complex situations.
I've been leaning on my understanding
Confessing a reliance on personal understanding rather than trust in God.
And I hate it, hate where I've been standing
Expressing dissatisfaction with the speaker's current spiritual standing.
