Lyrics

I'd be lying if I didn't say

I acknowledge that I would not be truthful if I didn't express

I'm slowly dying from Your silence

I am gradually experiencing a sense of deterioration due to Your silence

(And) When fear comes down attacking me

When fear confronts me aggressively

(Still) My faith is my defiance

Despite this, my faith remains steadfast, serving as my resistance

My faith is my defiance

Reiterating that my faith is the strong opposition or resistance I maintain


God I'll fight to give You my attention

Expressing determination to strive and focus on giving attention to God

I'll bless Your Name and drop all my defenses

Committing to praising God's Name and letting go of all defensive barriers

You are the Truth

Acknowledging that God embodies truth

Still greater than my questions

Affirming that God's truth surpasses and prevails over my uncertainties

So I'll wait

Deciding to patiently endure and remain steadfast

I'll worship in the tension

Choosing to worship God even in the midst of uncertainty and conflict


When my doubt leads me towards a ledge

When my skepticism leads me towards a precarious situation

And my heart starts feeling frantic

And my heart becomes agitated or anxious

I will fix my eyes on who You are

Determining to focus my attention on God's character and identity

You're the Rock on which I'm standing

Acknowledging that God is the solid foundation on which I stand

You're the Rock on which I'm standing

Reiterating that God is the unshakable foundation I rely on


God I'll fight to give You my attention

Reaffirming the commitment to fight for God's attention

I'll bless Your Name and drop all my defenses

Promising to bless God's Name and remove all defensive barriers

You are the Truth

Acknowledging that God embodies truth

Still greater than my questions

Affirming that God's truth surpasses and prevails over my uncertainties

So I'll wait

Choosing to wait patiently despite uncertainties and conflicts

I'll worship in the tension

Deciding to worship God even in the midst of tension and uncertainty


Oh King of All

Addressing God as the ruler of everything

I need all You are

Expressing the need for every aspect of God's being

Come rule and reign in my divided heart

Inviting God to reign in a heart that feels divided or conflicted

I am undone

Acknowledging a state of being overwhelmed or defeated

I am torn apart

Describing an emotional state of being broken or deeply affected

Come rule and reign in my divided heart

Reiterating the invitation for God to rule in a conflicted heart

Oh King of All

Addressing God as the ruler of everything

I need all You are

Expressing the need for every aspect of God's being

Come rule and reign in my divided heart

Inviting God to reign in a heart that feels divided or conflicted

I am undone

Acknowledging a state of being overwhelmed or defeated

I am torn apart

Describing an emotional state of being broken or deeply affected

Come rule and reign

Reiterating the invitation for God to rule and reign


God I'll fight to give You my attention

Reaffirming the commitment to fight for God's attention

I'll bless Your Name and drop all my defenses

Promising to bless God's Name and remove all defensive barriers

You are the Truth

Acknowledging that God embodies truth

Still greater than my questions

Affirming that God's truth surpasses and prevails over my uncertainties

So I'll wait

Choosing to wait patiently despite uncertainties and conflicts

I'll worship in the tension

Deciding to worship God even in the midst of tension and uncertainty
