Have Your Way

Fell in love with this awesome, heartfelt, honest, fearful, insecure song about trusting God - even if it means death.

Songs written with such candour, openness and honesty can only be from this awesome female Christian artist, Britt Nicole.

Below is the link and the lyrics...


HAVE YOUR WAY
Britt Nicole                                                       Key: F#
Christian Contemporary (Slow)

FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN HERE FOREVER
WHY CAN'T YOU JUST INTERVENE?
DO YOU SEE THE TEARS KEEP FALLING?
AND I'M FALLING APART AT THE SEAMS
BUT YOU NEVER SAID THE ROAD WOULD BE EASY
BUT YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD NEVER LEAVE
AND YOU NEVER PROMISED THAT THIS LIFE WASN'T HARD
BUT YOU PROMISED YOU'D TAKE CARE OF ME.

Chorus:
SO I'LL STOP SEARCHING FOR, THE ANSWERS
I'LL STOP PRAYING FOR, AN ESCAPE
AND I'LL TRUST YOU GOD, WITH WHERE I AM
AND BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL HAVE YOUR WAY
JUST HAVE YOUR WAY
JUST HAVE YOUR WAY

WHEN MY FRIENDS AND MY FAMILY HAVE LEFT ME
 AND I FEEL SO ASHAMED AND SO COLD
REMIND ME THAT YOU TAKE BROKEN THINGS
AND TURN THEM INTO BEAUTIFUL

EVEN IF MY DREAMS HAVE DIED
AND EVEN IF I DON'T SURVIVE
I'LL STILL WORSHIP YOU WITH ALL MY LIFE
MY LIFE

I KNOW YOU WILL.
I WON'T FORGET.
WHOA-OH
YOU LOVE ME.
HAVE YOUR WAY.
YEAH

This song really ministered to me as the chorus really describes me. I keep trying to figure out the answers...I keep trying to figure out how is it all going to work out.

The latter part of the chorus is a challenge for me to jump of the cliff into free-fall mode and trust that God will catch me. To trust my Saviour with all I am and believe that He will have His way.

Not an easy thing to do...but this song just airs your heart as your spirit cries out to God "Jesus I believe! Help me with my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24)

Pray this song touches your heart as much as mine :)
