Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I feel my heart beating out of my chest
Am I just taking that one final breath?
Do You really want me this close to the edge?
I'm scared to death of
Falling, changing
Losing my grip and
Giving someone else control
No holding back, do whatever it takes
Take all these fears and break off all these chains
If You say I'm ready
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'll take Your hand and I'll step right out
I'll lift my eyes so I won't look down
If You say I'm ready
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
3, am I really gonna do this?
Are You gonna carry me through this?
2, is it really something You want?
Should I maybe get a parachute on?
1, can I find the nerve?
Is it gonna work?
Is it gonna hurt?
God just say the word
No holding back, do whatever it takes
Take all these fears and break off all these chains
If You say I'm ready
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'll take Your hand and I'll step right out
I'll lift my eyes so I won't look down
If You say I'm ready
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I don't want to miss a thing
That You might have for me, yeah
Dark days
Dark nights
Hang on
Hold tight
Don't run
Don't fight
Let go
Your life
I just want to clear my mind
I just want to trust Your light
You can have all my time
You can have all my
I don't wanna have control no more
Ever since they rolled that stone
And I felt my soul let go
Knew I couldn't hold my own
Knew I needed everything You had to offer me 'cause pain is all I know
Truthfully it's all I knew
'Cause my whole life brand new
No holding back, do whatever it takes
Take all these fears and break off all these chains
If You say I'm ready
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'll take Your hand and I'll step right out
I'll lift my eyes so I won't look down
If You say I'm ready
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
