[Verse 1] There’s a question that keeps haunting: Have I loved this world too much? If I dream of brighter mornings, Have I reached beyond Your touch? Every longing I lay before You Feels like one more thing to lose. Is Your will a road that leaves me Walking paths I wouldn’t choose? [Spoken] “It is a mistake to entertain the thought that God is pleased to see His children suffer.” [Pre-Chorus] If I place my life before You, What will You ask back of me? If I open empty hands, Lord, Can my heart stay light and free? [Chorus] You don’t ask me to surrender What is best for me to keep. Every road that draws me nearer Leads to blessings running deep. You don’t close the doors to gladness. You don’t steal what’s good from me. Every joy bears Heaven’s smile. Your way sets me free. [Verse 2] Every question keeps returning. Every answer feels delayed. Do You really ask Your children To be faithful and afraid? If I hope for brighter days, Lord, Does that mean I trust You less? Can I long for peace tomorrow? Can I still know happiness? [Spoken] “All heaven is interested in the happiness of man. Our heavenly Father does not close the avenues of joy.” [Chorus] You don’t ask me to surrender What is best for me to keep. Every road that draws me nearer Leads to blessings running deep. You don’t close the doors to gladness. You don’t steal what’s good from me. Every joy bears Heaven’s smile. Your way sets me free. [Bridge] Every time my heart grows lighter, One more question finds its voice: Could a life that’s filled with gladness Really be Your better choice? [Spoken] “He will satisfy the heart-longing of all who consent to wear His yoke.” [Final Chorus] You don’t ask me to surrender What is best for me to keep. Every road that draws me nearer Leads to blessings running deep. You don’t close the doors to gladness. You don’t steal what’s good from me. Every joy bears Heaven’s smile. Your way sets me free.
