Control Lyrics
Here I am, all my intentions
All my obsessions, I wanna lay them all down
In Your hands, only Your love is vital
Though I’m not entitled
Still You call me Your child
God, You don’t need me, but somehow You want me
Oh, how You love me, somehow that frees me
To take my hands off of my life and the way it should go
Oh, God, You don’t need me, but somehow You want me
Oh, how You love me, somehow that frees me
To open my hands up and give You control
I give You control
I’ve had plans shattered and broken
Things I have hoped in, fall through my hands
You have plans to redeem and restore me
You’re behind and before me
Oh, help me believe
You want me
Somehow You want me
The King of Heaven wants me
So this world has lost its grip on me
Oh, give You control
Oh, I want to give You control
I give You control

Uplifting and filled with hope.
Sounds like this could have been my brother Tim’s song. He departed this world the last Wednesday of May (fatal accident). So many awesome testaments to what a giving, sharing, unifying person he lived as. An amazing life because he left God be in control.
My sister’s that I traveled with both expressed a desire to live “more like Tim”. When we yield to God, so much can be done through us!
There are some heart aches involved in Tim’s story: his youngest child graduated 2 days after his death. James was given the strength to stand before a totally packed field house and deliver his valedictorian speech. It wasn’t the same one his dad had been help in with. It was a bit of a tribute to his dad. James received a standing ovation. Tim’s oldest still plans to wed this summer, but Dad won’t be the person to officiate. Tim’s middle child (Rachel) seems to be withdrawing. Understandable, but concerning. His wife has had several battles with brain cancer. She is vibrantly healthy at the moment, but her mind has been affected by the treatments. And then there are all the people in the area where he lived who loved him and whom he visited or listened to or the clergy he organized as chaplain for an area hospital. And now after almost 20 years with Tim as their pastor; there is a church in Michigan without a pastor, leader, shepherd.
I do keep praying for others to step up and take their turn now that he is gone. I choose not to believe in the power of the devil. He is powerful, but I choose not to believe in him as a winner in this situation. I believe that God IS in control and Tim’s death was not a mistake and God didn’t “loose a round to Satan”.
God will use this in a mighty way! Glory be to God!
So touching…. May His soul rest in the bossom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Tough times dont last but tough people do.
I love the song to heaven and back.
Pls I want the link to download the free version so I can listen to it every morning and every night.
Your message or question…so timely, so true, so rich and so alive
The song makes me to know how GOD is in control of everything,he can not forsake his own people though there might tribulations but his in control. I love this song so much,i can listen to it every blessed day. God is good and may he bless the writer,singer and we the listener.
amen,
thanks
This song has inspired my life. It has exposed my nakedness before God. God does not need me to accomplish His purpose. I am the one that needs God. Help me O God.
This song is beautiful. It reinforces my resolve to yeild my whole life to God because handing everything over to God is beautiful.
