Grip
Embracing Joy in the Unraveling Threads of Life
Lyrics
Here I am holding tightly
Expressing a firm hold on something
Onto a thing that’s clearly fading
Holding onto something that is fading away
I crave the comfort that the world offers me
Desiring the comfort offered by the world
But you give life, for there is hope in your story
Finding hope and life in a personal story
Loosen my grip, fix my gaze
Request to release the grip and focus on something greater
Until the things of you are all that I chase
Shifting focus towards things of higher significance
For you say, i can count it all as joy
Finding joy in challenging circumstances
Turn my heart and focus my eyes
Asking to redirect the heart and concentrate the vision
To see how you’ve worked in the patterns of life
Recognizing God's influence in the patterns of life
For you say, “I am yours I’m by your side”
Affirmation of belonging and support
My child I will catch your tears tonight
Assurance that tears are noticed and cared for
Here I am I’m desperate for you
Expressing desperation for a higher power
I’m wanting answers, God I’m so confused
Seeking answers in confusion
But you have called me in the waiting
Understanding the purpose in waiting
So here I am, I understand that your plan is for my better.
Acknowledging that God's plan is for personal improvement
Loosen my grip, fix my gaze
Reiteration of releasing grip and fixing focus
Until the things of you are all that I chase
Continued pursuit of things with higher meaning
For you say, i can count it all as joy
Reaffirmation of finding joy in all circumstances
Turn my heart and focus my eyes
Request to turn the heart and focus on life patterns
To see how you’ve worked in the patterns of life
Recognition of God's presence and support
For you say, “I am yours I’m by your side”
Assurance of closeness and comfort
My child, I’ll draw near to you tonight
Promising to be near and attentive
Loosen my grip, fix my gaze
Repetition emphasizing the importance of shifting focus
Until the things of you are all that I chase
-For you say, i can count it all as joy
-Loosen my grip, fix my gaze
-Until the things of you are all that I chase
-For you say, i can count it all as joy
-Loosen my grip, fix my gaze
-Until the things of you are all that I chase
-For you say, i can count it all as joy
-Loosen my grip, fix my gaze
-Until the things of you are all that I chase
-For you say, i can count it all as joy
-Loosen my grip, fix my gaze
-Until the things of you are all that I chase
-For you say, i can count it all as joy
-Turn my heart and focus my eyes
-To see how you’ve worked in the patterns of life
-For you say I can count all as joy
-I can count it all as joy.
-Loosen my grip, fix my gaze
-Until the things of you are all that I chase
-For you say, i can count it all as joy
-Turn my heart and focus my eyes
-To see how you’ve worked in the patterns of life
-For you say, “I am yours I’m by your side
-My child, I will catch you tears tonight
-I am here, I will draw near, you're in my light."
Reassurance of God's presence and illumination
