Lyrics 
Verse 1:
Lord, I know it's Your Will and I cling to it still
No matter what the darkness might say
I know You'll see me through like You always do
But it's hard to see the Truth today
Your wisdom reveals all of me that I steal
From Your righteousness each day
Lord, I pray that I see You I know that I need You
Especially today
Bridge:
I can see You revealing Your Truth to me
I'm feeling Your healing setting me free!
Chorus:
Now I know the right thing to do is to
Just let go and You Will see me through
Take control; make me new
Take my soul; I surrender it to You
Verse 2:
Through faith I believe and I long to receive
Your comfort in me
I feel that it's there but I don't even care
My heart's eyes are closed, and I can't see
You brought me this pain so I'd trust in Your Name
That You would make me clean
I feel You right now; You are in me right now
And I humbly bow down; You're what I need
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Now I know.
Take my soul.
Now I know.

Description
Verse 1:
Though I am in a period of darkness right now, I still know that God is trying to speak to me and remind me that it is His Will that I am here right now. By turning away from God's truth, I am stealing my life (which belongs to Him alone) from His sovereign control.
Verse 2:
I believe that God can comfort me in anything; however, I am reluctant to accept His comfort because I feel as though I need to mourn for some strange reason. I am so stubborn to accept all the peace that God has for me, especially considering that He put me in this period of darkness in the first place.
Bridge:
God broke down the walls I had built the second I showed permeability, and He set me free from all pain that I was formerly experiencing.
Chorus:
Through this experience I have learned that all I have to do in situations of despair is trust in God, and praise Him for giving me these situations. I need to let go of myself, and give everything I have back to God in perfect submission.
Overall:
I wrote this song in the midst of some struggles that God had given me, and I had been closing my mind and my heart to God as the source of the solution. I was so stubbornly self-reliant that I couldn't even accept God's peace in my life - I just didn't want it. The first time I sat down to play during this time of tribulation, God found me defenseless and threw this song at me to remind me that all I ever have to do is quiet my mind and let God work things out though me. God's will is impossible to comprehend, but through faith we can at least understand how to let God's will live in our lives.
Matthew 10:39
"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
