Your Ways
Journey to Light: Finding Hope in Wade Walker's 'Your Ways'
Lyrics
Spent time in the wilderness
Expressing a period spent in challenging circumstances or a metaphorical wilderness.
In a worldly bind
Feeling entangled or confined by worldly matters.
Oh Jesus won’t you be my true vine
A plea to Jesus to be a source of spiritual nourishment and guidance.
In Your absence nothing’s growing
Highlighting a lack of growth or progress in the absence of a connection with Jesus.
In your countenance I’m free
Finding freedom and solace in the presence of Jesus.
I’m needy and believing in thee
Expressing dependence and faith in Jesus.
I have surveyed all my options
Having considered and evaluated various choices.
And you’re all that I’ve got
Acknowledging Jesus as the primary and essential support.
So I run
Choosing to seek refuge or guidance from Jesus.
To your hills
Metaphorically running to the hills as a place of safety or elevation.
Away from all my earthly shadows
Moving away from negative influences and challenges.
And worldly passions that been killing me
Turning away from worldly desires and distractions that have been harmful.
Cause Your days are brighter than mine
Emphasizing the brightness and positivity of Jesus' days compared to the speaker's.
And Your ways are higher than mine
Recognizing the superior and more virtuous ways of Jesus.
Out of the depths I have
Referring to a deep connection with Jesus as a king.
Called You my king
Asking Jesus to protect and guide the speaker's life.
Oh Jesus want you hide my life in thee
Acknowledging the insignificance of the speaker's name in comparison to Jesus.
Cause my name don’t mean nothing
Declaring that the speaker's life story belongs to Jesus.
My story is yours
Metaphorically building the foundation of life on the steadfastness of Jesus.
Build my house on the rocks of Your shores
Reiterating Jesus as the primary and essential choice.
I have surveyed all my options
Reaffirming that Jesus is the only viable option.
And you’re all that I’ve got
Acknowledging Jesus as the ultimate support.
So I run
Choosing to seek refuge or guidance from Jesus (repeated).
To your hills
Metaphorically running to the hills for safety or elevation (repeated).
Away from all my earthly shadows
Maintaining distance from negative influences and challenges (repeated).
And worldly passions that been killing me
Turning away from harmful worldly desires and distractions (repeated).
Cause Your days are brighter than mine
Emphasizing the brightness and positivity of Jesus' days (repeated).
And Your ways are higher than mine
Recognizing the superior and more virtuous ways of Jesus (repeated).
So I run
Choosing to seek refuge or guidance from Jesus (repeated).
To your hills
Metaphorically running to the hills for safety or elevation (repeated).
Away from all my earthly shadows
Maintaining distance from negative influences and challenges (repeated).
And worldly passions that been killing me
Turning away from harmful worldly desires and distractions (repeated).
Cause Your days are brighter than mine
Emphasizing the brightness and positivity of Jesus' days (repeated).
And Your ways are higher than mine
Recognizing the superior and more virtuous ways of Jesus (repeated).
So I run
Choosing to seek refuge or guidance from Jesus (repeated).
To Your hills
Metaphorically running to the hills for safety or elevation (repeated).
So I run
Repeating the act of running to the hills.
To Your hills
Repeating the act of running to the hills (final repetition).
