Take the Reins

I spent time with my knuckles white

From squeezing a grip around this life

And trying to climb the years just like a piece of rope

And I've got blistered hands I've been grinding my teeth

Holding on to what I thought was the dream

Turns out, it's a play and now the curtain's closed

But I'm finding, I'm fine with letting go

Like oh, God, take the reins

Cause I don't know how to do this thing

No, no (oh, oh, oh, oh)

And oh, God let Your kingdom come

When I try to build mine it just comes undone

I know (oh, oh, oh, oh)

And I'm just tired and through standing in the way

Oh God take the reins

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Only now I'm starting to see

That this whole thing is bigger than me

And somehow that makes life just a little more free

But I'm finding my place, and it ain't in the lead

Like oh, God, take the reins

Cause I don't know how to do this thing

No, no (oh, oh)

No no (oh, oh)

And oh, God let Your kingdom come

When I try to build mine it just comes undone

I know (oh, oh)

I know (oh, oh)

And I'm just tired and through standing in the way

Oh God take the reins

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

One thing I need to remember

Is my life begins when I surrender, yeah

One thing I need to remember

Is my life began when I surrendered

Oh, God, take the reins

Cause I don't know how to do this thing

No, no (oh, oh)

No no (oh, oh)

And oh, God let Your kingdom come

When I try to build mine it just comes undone

I know (oh, oh)

I know, yeah I know (oh, oh)

And I'm just tired and through standing in the way

Oh God take the reins

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
