I ran around the room again
I ran outside, and then I ran back in
And I just couldn’t get away from myself
I don’t care what tomorrow brings
I won’t back down for anything
I want to think that I was made for something else
I can’t wait anymore
I’m ready to reach
So I’m closing the door behind me
All that I can do is hold onto You
And to follow where You lead
Where You’re leading me
All that I can do is hold onto You
And let You bring me through
It’s all that I can do
There are days I think I don’t need You
There are days when I can’t see the truth
I need You to save me from the lies
Because every thought that’s in my head
And even when I draw my next breath
You knew it all before there was time
When the waves begin to rise
And all my hope fails
In confidence, I’ll close my eyes
Trusting You’ll be there
Behind the Song:'This past spring Ed played some music for me that he and a friend, Dave Barnes, had written while I was at home in Ohio. I immediately fell in love with it… it was so alive and inviting.
We sat on the deck outside of the studio one afternoon and, yet again, God provided the lyric in just a few hours. The wonderful thing about it was that it echoed our hearts during that frantic time of feeling pressure to finish the record:
“When the waves begin to rise/And all my hope fails/In confidence, I’ll close my eyes/Trusting You’ll be there/Be there…”
I admit that I’m so easily led away by busyness and schedules; I look over the need to trust God and just depend on myself. And the strange thing about it is that only creates more worry and anxiety. I’m learning that the only way true peace can be found is when I let go of my fear and self-sufficiency and hold tight onto Jesus.' - Bethany Dillon
