Camp asks God to take his fears and lead him into the unknown, where he can trust more deeply. The song acknowledges that fears are too heavy to carry alone and finds freedom in surrendering to God.

I wanna be strong
I wanna have it all together
Don't like to be wrong
Sometimes I think my plan is better
I've been trying, I've been trying so hard to fight
For something that I know will never be mine
And it's keeping me up so late at night
And I'm tired
God help me lose control
Would You take all my fears?
Lead me to the unknown
Where I can trust You deeper
And got my heart in a ten fingered grip
Stealing all the joy out of it
My fears are just too heavy for me
To hold, hold
God help me lose control
I wanna believe
I come to You with my confession
I've been wanting answers
When I just need peace in the questions
Oh, lately I'm someone I know that I'm not
Chasing all the wrong things with all that I've got
And I really don't know, don't know how to stop
And I'm tired
God help me lose control
Would You take all my fears?
Lead me to the unknown
Where I can trust You deeper
And got my heart in a ten fingered grip
Stealing all the joy out of it
My fears are just too heavy for me
To hold, hold
God help me lose control
There is freedom
Freedom in surrender
I want freedom
Help me to surrender
There is freedom
Freedom in surrender
I want freedom
God help me lose control
Would You take all my fears?
Lead me to the unknown
Where I can trust You deeper
And got my heart in a ten fingered grip
Stealing all the joy out of it
My fears are just too heavy for me
To hold, hold
God help me lose control
