Highlands Worship's song "Control" is a worship ballad that encourages listeners to surrender their fears, worries, and the weight of sin to God. The lyrics speak to the weary and troubled, urging them to find peace and rest in God's presence. It reflects on the futility of worldly gain compared to the state of one's soul, and affirms that only God's power can overcome sin. The repeated refrain of giving control to the Lord emphasizes a theme of total surrender and trust. The song is a gentle reminder of faith and reliance on God's truth and light.

Take heart
Weary soul
Lift your tired eyes
Lay down fears of old
Be still
Troubled mind
Peace will rest upon
Storms that rage inside
What good is it
To gain the whole world
But lose your soul
What power but His
Can counter the weight of sin's hold
These things I'll never know
I'd rather just give You control
Breathe deep
Faith will rise
His word will not be void
His truth will be my light
What good is it
To gain the whole world
But lose your soul
What power but His
Can counter the weight of sin's hold
These things I'll never know
I'd rather just give You control
These things I'll never know
I'd rather just give You control
Oh Lord, I give You control
Take my whole heart and my soul
Oh Lord, I give You control
Take my whole heart and my soul
Oh Lord, I give You control
Take my whole heart and my soul
Oh Lord, I give You control
Take my whole heart and my soul
Oh Lord, I give You control
Take my whole heart and my soul
Oh Lord, I give You control
Take my whole heart and my soul
I give You control
I give You control
What good is it
To gain the whole world
But lose your soul
What power but His
Can counter the weight of sin's hold
