Finished With Fighting
Embracing Freedom: Todd McVicker's Journey of Surrender and Redemption
Lyrics
Throw off the things that I thought were important
Rejecting things once considered important.
The kingdoms I’ve built in my name
Abandoning self-created kingdoms and pride.
To hell with the burdens, I’m just one person
Choosing to disregard personal burdens.
Crushed beneath this weight
Feeling overwhelmed and weighed down.
Laying my guns down, no need to fight now
Choosing peace over conflict, letting go of battles.
For hills that I’ve been dying on
No longer investing in futile struggles.
Forgetting my arguments, ditching the evidence
Abandoning arguments and evidence, seeking a new path.
You have what I need to be free
Finding freedom through someone else.
I will run run run to You
Expressing a commitment to run towards someone.
All that I ever need is You
Acknowledging dependency on someone for all needs.
I’m finished with fighting I have decided
Deciding to end the internal and external fights.
I’ll run to You
Choosing to seek refuge in someone.
What if surrender was only forgiveness
Contemplating surrender as a form of forgiveness.
For all of the wrong that I’ve done
Accepting consequences for past mistakes.
The forfeit of prejudice, toppling monuments
Rejecting prejudice and meaningless monuments.
That never amounted to anything
Realizing the insignificance of certain endeavors.
I will run run run to You
Reiterating the commitment to run towards someone.
All that I ever need is You
Affirming dependency on someone for all needs.
I’m finished with fighting I have decided
Reaffirming the decision to end fighting.
I’ll run to You
Committing to seek refuge in someone.
The arc of the universe bends toward Your justice and truth
Highlighting the alignment of the universe with justice.
Grace is the gravity—pulls me in close like the moon
Describing grace as a force pulling close.
The stars in the sky relay echoes of echoes of You
Noting the pervasive influence of the divine.
If all of creation is chasing then I will chase too
Expressing a willingness to follow divine pursuits.
The arc of the universe bends toward Your justice and truth
Reiterating the alignment of the universe with justice.
Grace is the gravity—pulls me in close like the moon
Reaffirming grace as a compelling force.
The stars in the sky relay echoes of echoes of You
Reiterating the pervasive influence of the divine.
If all of creation is chasing then I will chase too
Expressing a commitment to follow divine pursuits.
I will run run run to You
Repeating the commitment to run towards someone.
All that I ever need is You
Reiterating dependency on someone for all needs.
I’m finished with fighting I have decided
Reaffirming the decision to end fighting.
I will run run run to You
Repeating the commitment to run towards someone.
All that I ever need is You
Reiterating dependency on someone for all needs.
I’m finished with fighting I have decided
Reaffirming the decision to end fighting.
I’ll run to You
Recommitting to seek refuge in someone.
The whole of my spirit bends toward Your justice and truth
Highlighting alignment with justice and truth.
The weight of your mercy pulls me in close like a moon
Describing the pull of mercy like a gravitational force.
The beat of my pulse relays echoes of echoes of You
Noting echoes of the divine in personal experiences.
Forget about all I once loved, I will only chase You
Choosing to let go of past loves and focus on divine pursuit.
