You Know Better Than I

(Verse)

I’ve spent my life trying to hold the pen

Wrote my plans, made them all make sense

But every road I paved alone

Only led me further from home

I thought I knew what I needed

Thought I had to keep control

But You were there, even when I didn’t see You

Waiting for me to let it go

(Chorus)

You know better than I

You see what I can’t

Even when I don’t understand

You’ve already walked ahead

You know where this leads

And maybe that’s all I need

You know better than I

(Verse)

I’ve prayed for answers, begged for signs

But maybe silence is part of the design

I thought You were far, but You never moved

I was just holding on to me, not You

I tried to build a life with my own hands

As if I could ever see the plan

But all You ever asked of me

Was to stop fighting, and just believe

(Chorus)

You know better than I

You see what I can’t

Even when I don’t understand

You’ve already walked ahead

You know where this leads

And maybe that’s all I need

You know better than I

(Bridge)

Maybe trust means not knowing

Maybe faith means letting go

Of needing to be certain

And just walking with You slow

(Final Chorus – soft to soaring)

You know better than I

You hold the pieces

Even when I fall to pieces

You never leave

You never hide

So I’ll stop trying

I’ll stop striving

You know better…

You know better than I
