Submitting with Strength

[Verse 1] I have held the reins so tightly Knuckles white from all my fear Built a kingdom out of planning But I can’t keep it standing here You are writing in the quiet Chapters I don’t understand So I open up the fingers Of my trembling Tired hands [Chorus] Submitting with strength This is my faith Laying down control In Your sovereign name You are at work Far beyond what I can see I’m submitting with strength ’Cause I know that You love me [Verse 2] Where my heart has grown like concrete Lord You touch the hardest part Every wall I built for safety Starts to crumble at Your heart Teach me patience in the waiting When I only want to rush Help me breathe and stop the striving Let my confidence be trust [Chorus] Submitting with strength This is my faith Laying down control In Your sovereign name You are at work Far beyond what I can see I’m submitting with strength ’Cause I know that You love me [Bridge] You are God when I am guessing You are God when I can’t move You are God when I release it All I am I give to You You are God in every shadow You are God in every light You are working in the waiting I will trust You through the night (oh) [Chorus] Submitting with strength This is my faith Laying down control In Your sovereign name You are at work Far beyond what I can see I’m submitting with strength ’Cause I know that You love me [Tag] Lord Soften my heart Where it’s hardened and cold I practice Your patience And let go Let go
