[Verse 1]
As I walk this great unknown
Questions come and questions go
Was there purpose for the pain?
Did I cry these tears in vain?
[Verse 2]
I don't want to live in fear
I want to trust that You are near
Trust Your grace can be seen
In both triumph and tragedy
[Chorus 1]
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
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
[Verse 3]
But sometimes my faith feels thin
Like the night will never end
Oh, will You catch every tear
Or will You just leave me here?
[Chorus 2]
I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You're with me and You won't let go
I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You're with me and You won't let go
[Bridge]
Oh, You want me
Somehow You want me
The King of Heaven wants me
So this world has lost its grip on me
[Chorus 3]
And I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
[2:38?] side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
[Outro]
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
