Adonai (Lord Of My Life)
Josiah Queen's song 'Adonai' is a prayerful surrender to God, acknowledging human weakness and the struggle to let go of control. The artist reflects on repeated cycles of forgetting God's faithfulness and trying to be self-sufficient, only to find himself tired and bitter. He confesses his limited understanding as a mere man and lifts his hands in surrender, asking to be God's delight. The song emphasizes finding rest and home in God's plans when personal control is released. It echoes themes of trust and dependence on the Lord, using the Hebrew name 'Adonai' to express reverence and submission.
I've been down this road
Many times, every time, I forget
That it leaves me low
And I get tired, I get tied in bitterness
I don't fully understand
But I'm only just a man
Adonai
Adonai
Lord of my life
Of my life
I throw up my hands
Fall into Your plans
I just wanna be Your delight
Adonai
Adonai
Lord of my life
I've been losing sleep
Tryna be all the things that I'm not
Now all I wanna be
Is to be seen by the God of my life
I don't fully understand
But I'm only just a man
Adonai
Adonai
Lord of my life
Of my life
I throw up my hands
Fall into Your plans
'Cause I just wanna be Your delight
Adonai
Adonai
Lord of my life
Oh, oh
Oh
At the tail of the road
My life starts at the end of my control
Once I let it go
My own plans in Your hands, I've found a home
