Jacob Sooter, Jason Ingram, Meredith Andrews
“Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?“
– Matthew 16:24-26 (The Message)
It’s Your heart we’re searching for
We want You and nothing more
Let Your glory fill this place
We’re alive in Your presence
We surrender all to You
Do what You want to,
Do what You want to
God we long to see You move
Do what you want to,
Do what You want to
We are standing in Your light
And our hearts are open wide
Let us see more than before
Lord, come have your way here
All consuming fire fall,
Fall on us
I love when I come across a praise song that takes a well-worn sentiment and re-words it to give it new life. We’ve all sung about and are familiar with the concept of surrendering all to God, but the idea of telling God “do what you want to” really puts it in a recognizable place. So when singing this song, open your arms, literally or metaphorically, and let God know that you are trusting him to do anything he wants to do in your life. -Matt Greene
