Giving You All Control
Surrendering to Redemption: Jeremy Camp's Journey of Transformation
Lyrics
I felt like I was spinning
I felt disoriented or confused
Didn't know what was up from down
I was unable to distinguish between what was right or wrong
I tried to fix what I had broken
I attempted to repair the damage I caused
It was scattered all around
The consequences were scattered and unresolved
It seems that every time I try walking by myself
Whenever I try to handle things alone
I end up on my face with nowhere else to go
I fail and end up in a desperate situation
So I surrender all my ways
I give up my own methods or approaches
Take all of these impurities
All my flaws and imperfections
I'm giving you this wretched soul
I'm offering my flawed and troubled self to you
I'm giving you these insecurities...
I'm giving you my lack of confidence or assurance
Giving you all control
I'm handing over complete control to you
I'm placing both my feet on the floor
I'm committing to a new start, being careful not to repeat past mistakes
Making sure I won't make that mistake anymore
I'm making sure not to fall into the same pitfalls again
I've tasted all the emptiness around me
I've experienced the hollowness of worldly pursuits
And I'm never going back
I've made a firm decision not to return to that emptiness
I'd set myself up for the lies that this world satisfies
I deceived myself into believing that worldly things could satisfy me
But you're all that I need
I've realized that I only need you
And I have peace inside
I've found inner peace through this realization
So keep tearing out all of my pride
I acknowledge the need to remove my arrogance
Take all of these impurities
All my flaws and imperfections
I'm giving you this wretched soul
I'm offering my flawed and troubled self to you
I'm giving you these insecurities...
I'm giving you my lack of confidence or assurance
Giving you all control
I'm handing over complete control to you
I'm taking all my fears and layin' 'em at your feet now
I'm confronting and surrendering my fears to you
I'm resting in the fact that everything is safe now
I'm finding peace in the certainty that everything is secure with you
When I let go of all the things I know will fade out
When I release temporary things, I trust your enduring words
Every word that you have said I know I'll never doubt
I have absolute faith in your promises and teachings
