Search Me

Travis Greene and Tasha Cobbs Leonard build this one around an unusual request for a worship song — not asking God to bless or fill, but to search and expose. 'Here's the key to my heart, come search me now' invites exactly the kind of scrutiny most people avoid, and Psalm 139:23-24's 'search me, God, and know my heart... see if there is any wicked way in me' sits directly behind that request.

'If You find it in my heart, take it away' doesn't specify what 'it' is, which is part of the honesty — the singer isn't naming a particular sin to be forgiven for, just admitting there's something unnamed still worth removing. 'Don't want to wake up who I used to be' names the actual fear driving the whole request: not punishment, but relapse into an old identity. The closing repetition, 'all to Thee, my Blessed Savior,' borrowed from the old hymn 'I Surrender All,' answers the search with total surrender rather than partial negotiation.
