I am a person who hears God loudest through music.
It always seems that no matter what is going on in my life, God always finds a way to speak to my hurting heart through the musical gift of others. This song has spoken to me so much over the last week, especially the words:
And when you’re tired of fighting
Chained by your control
There’s freedom in surrender
Lay it down and let it go
So many times I keep myself from peace by trying to control and hold onto things God never intended for me to fix or take responsibility for. This song really helps me to see those things in my life and brings me back to a state of surrender and peace.
Below is the entire song lyrics & video:
Hold it all together
Everybody needs you strong
But life hits you out of nowhere
And barely leaves you holding onAnd when you’re tired of fighting
Chained by your control
There’s freedom in surrender
Lay it down and let it goSo when you’re on your knees and answers seem so far away
You’re not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
I’m on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be heldIf your eyes are on the storm
You’ll wonder if I love you still
But if your eyes are on the cross
You’ll know I always have and I always willAnd not a tear is wasted
In time, you’ll understand
I’m painting beauty with the ashes
Your life is in My handsLift your hands, lift your eyes
In the storm is where you’ll find Me
And where you are, I’ll hold your heart
I’ll hold your heart
Come to Me, find your rest
In the arms of the God who wont let go.
How does God speak to your heart?
What song represents your life right now?

I love worship music too – and it ministers to me so so much! There is nothing like being in the presence of the Lord and worshiping God with good worship music!
Love this song. Such encouragement for this morning 🙂
Such beautiful lyrics! I love worship music too. It is my favorite part of the Sunday service. I listen to it a lot in the car too.
Casting Crowns has such a great way of speaking right to where we are. I love worship music and how it can help focus your mind and heart.
I agree every artist (that is Christian) can be used of God to minister to us. I really love Klove they let God control the music and then He will point out his message for you and me
I love worshiping through music! I am a piano teacher and my mom tells me that I always have loved varieties of music. Some of my favorite songs and ones that always speak to my soul are hymns. I love the great hymns of the faith.
