Nothing Now But You

Lord, you would have me to let go,
To lose the control that I have exerted
Only to let you hold it, to be sovereign

All that I have held onto, built around me as a cocoon
Letting go, scared and frightened, I surrender
O, What this does to the core of my heart!

Losing control, losing self-strength,
Losing who I am in who you are
I am trading in normal for extraordinary...
To let you break my heart, to operate on my soul
Painful but exhilarating, a process, yet with Your fingerprints,
Knowing that you are the Lord who makes beautiful.

I feel like I am falling
Without sight, without knowledge
Into an opening, Your door
Into the most magnificent adventure
Learning to walk by what I know of You,
By Faith, not by what I see,
For I can see nothing now but You.
