Lyrics

**[Intro – Emotional R&B]**
I told You what I wanted...
I told You how I wanted it...
I even told You when.
But You’re God.
And I’m finally learning...
I don’t need You
To follow my plans.
I need the courage
To follow Yours.
**Your will over mine.**
**[BEAT DROP]**
**[Verse 1 – Fast Rap]**
I made the plans, had the whole thing mapped,
Told God, “Bless it,” then I ran my path,
Door slammed shut, had to double right back,
Found out real quick—I ain't running this map!
I wanted yes!
You told me no!
I wanted fast!
You told me slow!
I wanted answers!
You said, “Just go
Where I lead you—
You don't have to know!”
That's hard when you're used to control,
Hard when you've already pictured the goal,
Hard when the thing that you wanted the most
Is the very thing God says, “Child, let it go.”
But if You see what I cannot see,
If You know what tomorrow will bring,
Then why would I choose what looks good to me
Over what was designed by the King?
So take my plans!
Take my pride!
Take every dream I put above Christ!
If what I want
And what You want collide—
**YOUR WILL OVER MINE!**
**[Pre-Chorus – R&B]**
If You close that door,
I won't break it down.
If You change my road,
I'll turn around.
Even when surrender
Costs me everything inside...
**Your will.
Your way.
**YOUR WILL OVER MINE!**
Even when it hurts sometimes!
When Your answer ain't the answer
I was hoping I would find!
Take my plans!
Take my dreams!
Take the future that I see!
If You've got something better, Lord,
**TAKE IT ALL FROM ME!**
Your way over mine!
Your truth over lies!
I don't have to understand
To put my whole life in Your hands!
Whatever You decide—
**YOUR WILL!
YOUR WAY!
YOUR WILL OVER MINE!**
Some things I begged for would've broken me,
Some people I chased weren't supposed to be
Anywhere near where You were taking me,
Now I'm looking back saying, “Thank You for protecting me!”
Thank You for the no!
Thank You for the wait!
Thank You for removing what I couldn't walk away from!
Thank You for the door
That wouldn't open when I knocked!
I called it disappointment—
**YOU CALLED IT A ROADBLOCK!**
You saw what was coming
When I couldn't see!
Saw their intentions
Before they reached me!
Saw that opportunity
Wasn't what it seemed!
Sometimes unanswered prayers
Are mercy underneath!
So I'm done telling Heaven
How my story should go.
Done treating You like
You don't already know.
If You say stay—
**I'M STAYING!**
If You say go—
**I'M GOING!**
If You say drop it—
**I'M LETTING IT GO!**
Even when it hurts sometimes!
When Your answer ain't the answer
I was hoping I would find!
Take my plans!
Take my dreams!
Take the future that I see!
If You've got something better, Lord,
**TAKE IT ALL FROM ME!**
Your way over mine!
Your truth over lies!
I don't have to understand
To put my whole life in Your hands!
Whatever You decide—
**YOUR WILL!
YOUR WAY!
YOUR WILL OVER MINE!**
I used to pray, “God, give me what I want!”
Now I pray, “God, give me what You want!”
Give me the faith to release what I clutch,
Wisdom to know when enough is enough,
Strength when surrender gets painfully tough,
And a heart that believes You when seeing ain't much!
'Cause Jesus in the garden
Showed me how it's done!
Knowing what was coming,
Still He didn't run!
Pain in front of Him,
Cross in His sight—
Still He chose the Father's will
Over His own that night!
So who am I
To say my way is better?
Who am I
To think You missed my letter?
Who am I
To panic under pressure
When the God holding me
Is holding it together?
My career—**YOURS!**
My money—**YOURS!**
My family—**YOURS!**
Tomorrow—**YOURS!**
My gifts—**YOURS!**
My plans—**YOURS!**
My whole life—
**IT'S IN YOUR HANDS!**
Not what I want...
If what I want
Pulls me away from You.
Not where I want...
If where I want
Isn't where You're leading me.
Not who I want...
If You know
They aren't meant for me.
Not my dream...
If my dream
Costs me my destiny.
Lord...
Break my plans
Before my plans break me.
Close the door
Before the wrong door takes me.
Change my heart
Until my heart can finally say...
**Not my will...
But Yours.**
**[BUILD]**
Even if I cry—
**YOUR WILL!**
Even if I wait—
**YOUR WILL!**
Even if I lose something
I thought I couldn't live without—
**YOUR WILL!**
Because anything I surrender to You
Was never safer in my hands!
Your way over mine!
Your truth over lies!
