Verse 1
Thank You for Your patience when I run,
For staying close when I come undone.
For mercy waiting where I rebel,
For loving me when I know better and still I fail.
I’ve built my plans with trembling hands,
Tried to be king of borrowed land.
Pre-Chorus
You never left when I pulled away,
You stayed—You stayed.
Chorus
Thank You for the grace that meets me here,
In the places shaped by doubt and fear.
When I resist, when I fight control,
Your love still whispers to my soul.
I lay it down—I’m learning slow,
Teach me to trust, teach me to let go.
Verse 2
I’ve mistaken safety for command,
Tightened my grip instead of Your hand.
I’ve called it wisdom, I’ve called it care,
But it was fear wearing a prayer.
Still You guard me through my pride,
Still You lead me when I hide.
Pre-Chorus
Your voice is gentle, steady, true,
Calling me back into You.
Chorus
Thank You for Your protection through my doubt,
For guiding me when I try to figure it out.
I surrender the places I hold too tight,
The quiet wars I fight at night.
I lay it down—I’m learning slow,
Teach me to trust, teach me to let go.
Bridge (haunting build)
If freedom lives on the other side
Of open hands and a softer pride,
Then take the crown I never wore well,
Break the spell of needing control.
Breakdown (whispered / half-sung)
I don’t lose myself when I surrender…
I finally find myself in You.
Final Chorus (Lift, restrained power)
Thank You for Your grace that never leaves,
Even when I choose what isn’t peace.
I submit my will, my fear, my plans,
I place my life in better hands.
I lay it down—this heavy load,
Lead me, Lord, where freedom grows.
Outro (quiet, resolved)
I stop resisting…
I start believing…
True freedom begins
When I give You control.
