Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Every day I?ve been feeling the pressure

I always gotta know the plan

It?s a weight that I?ve tried to shoulder

I thought I could, but I can?t


And I?m so tired of chasing dreams

When I am wired to let You lead


You?re changing my heart

To what what You want

To love how You love

And that is enough

There?s no greater plan

That I need to know

You only ask me to follow

And want what You, what You want

And want what You, what You want

And want what You, what You want

And want what You, what You want


Oh, there?s freedom in this surrender

I feel myself come alive

And the burden feels like a feather

When I let my agenda die


And I get so tired of my own dreams

When I am wired to let You lead


So many leaders

You ask for followers

So keep on leading

?Cause You?re my Father
