Verse 1
I spent so many miles trying to pave my own road
Holding every burden, carrying every load
Thinking if I planned enough, I'd never lose my way
But You kept gently whispering, "Trust Me day by day."
When the tide kept changing and the wind refused my sail
Your faithful hand was working where my own strength had failed
Now I'm learning freedom isn't having every answer in sight
It's walking with the One who turns the darkness into light
Pre-Chorus
Your ways are higher than my dreams
Your love is deeper than it seems
So I'm laying down the things I cannot hold
Chorus
I'm letting go of control
Placing my heart into Your soul-deep hope
You see tomorrow while I'm living today
So I'll trust Your love to lead the way
I'll loosen my grip and open these hands
Knowing You've already written a better plan
Even when I don't understand what You're doing above
I'll rest in the promise of Your unfailing love
Verse 2
Every closed door taught me something new
Every winding road somehow led me back to You
What felt like a setback became a brand-new start
You were building something stronger deep inside my heart
Now the sunrise finds me with a different point of view
It's not about my timing—it's about following You
The future doesn't frighten me the way it used to do
Because the Author of my story is forever good and true
Pre-Chorus
When the waves grow high, I won't run away
Your peace is enough for today
Chorus
I'm letting go of control
Placing my heart into Your soul-deep hope
You see tomorrow while I'm living today
So I'll trust Your love to lead the way
I'll loosen my grip and open these hands
Knowing You've already written a better plan
Even when I don't understand what You're doing above
I'll rest in the promise of Your unfailing love
Bridge
Take my dreams... reshape them in Your light
Take my fears... and trade them for Your peace
Take my plans... if You've got something more
I know Your goodness is worth waiting for
What I surrender, You restore
What I release, You bless even more
Your purpose is greater than mine could ever be
And that's the life I want to lead
Final Chorus
I'm letting go of control
No longer trying to carry it all alone
With every sunrise my confidence grows
Because Your faithfulness is all I need to know
I'll follow wherever Your Spirit leads
Planting hope with every seed
If tomorrow looks different than I once dreamed of
I'll still rejoice... because I'm held by Your love
Outro
So let the trade winds carry my fears away...
Let Your peace wash over me like the sea today...
I'm no longer chasing what I cannot command...
I'm walking by faith... with my life in Your hands.
Your plans are bigger...
Your love is stronger...
And that's where I belong
