With a fitting title, “control” is a peak into the spiritual lives of Joel and Luke as they seek to give up control of their lives to God, allowing their surrender to be an act of faith and trust to Him.
On Sept. 27, 2018, the band posted a snippet of the song on Twitter as part of their countdown...
[Verse 1: Luke Smallbone]
You asked me to let go but I thought I knew better
Afraid of surrender and what I don't know
I've always had a plan, but now I'm so weary
And I can't see clearly, forgot who I am
[Pre-Chorus: Luke Smallbone]
So won't You make my eyes Your eyes?
My ears Your ears, my tears Your tears?
And won't you make my hands Your hands?
My feet Your feet, my dreams Your dreams?
[Chorus: Joel & Luke Smallbone]
I give up control, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah
Body, mind, and soul, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah
Can't do this on my own, alone, no
I give up control
[Verse 2: Luke & Joel Smallbone]
Can I speak honestly? I've still got some questions
Still fightin' attention, I need some relief
No, I'm no Superman, this is my confession
Been learnin' my lesson, help me understand
[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Joel Smallbone]
So won't You make my eyes Your eyes?
My ears Your ears, my tears Your tears?
And won't you make my hands Your hands?
My feet Your feet, my dreams Your dreams?
[Chorus: Joel & Luke Smallbone]
I give up control, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah
Body, mind, and soul, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah
Can't do this on my own, alone, no
I give up control
[Bridge: Luke Smallbone, Joel Smallbone & Both]
I will raise my voice and sing
I will, I will raise my voice and sing
It is all I've got left to bring
I will, I will raise my voice and sing
I will raise my voice and sing
I will, I will raise my voice and sing, yeah
It is all I've got left to bring
I will, I will raise my voice and sing
I give up control
[Chorus: Luke & Joel Smallbone]
I give up control, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah
Body, mind, and soul, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah
Can't do this on my own, alone, no
I give up control, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah
Body, mind, and soul, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah
I can't do this on my own, alone, no
I give up control
[Outro: Joel Smallbone, Joel & Luke Smallbone]
Oh, I give up control
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
