David Dunn's song "Perspectives" reflects on the contrast between human limitations and God's infinite perspective. The lyrics acknowledge life's highs and lows, admitting that while we see only a small part, God sees everything in slow motion and holds the world. The song encourages trust in God, recognizing that He is our only hope and that His viewpoint is far greater than ours. It speaks to the struggle of managing emotions and the peace found in surrendering control to God, who holds it all.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've been way up, way down
I've been king of the world, laid out
I know what it feels like feels like
Living my life in high and low spaces
All I really know is I don't really know
All I really know is I don't really know
You see it all like it's in slow motion
I see a drop and think I've seen the ocean
You hold the world but I can't hold my own emotions
Maybe I should trust You
You hold it all
My hopes up, guard down
Been through enough, to know now
Hindsight in the real life feels like
Sometimes flying and sometimes falling
All I really know is you're my only hope
All I really know is you're my only hope
You see it all like it's in slow motion
I see a drop and think I've seen the ocean
You hold the world but I can't hold my own emotions
Maybe I should trust You
You hold it all
We all have our own perspectives
It's a curse and it's a blessing
We all have our own perspectives
We have ours and You have heaven's
You see it all like it's in slow motion
I see a drop and think I've seen the ocean
You hold the world but I can't hold my own emotions
Maybe I should trust You
You see it all like it's in slow motion
I see a drop and think I've seen the ocean
You hold the world but I can't hold my own emotions
Maybe I should trust You
You hold it all
