by a recovering co-dependent 🙂
This song by Britt Nicole helped me when I was new to recovery and going through a difficult time in my life. I was learning how to develop trust in a Higher Power. Surrender was unfamiliar to me. Fear of the unknown future was paralyzing. The lyrics, especially in the chorus, were a cry for help when I didn’t know how to let go of my will or to love myself. Take what you like…
Feels like I've been here forever,
Why can't you just intervene?
Do you see the tears keep falling?
And I'm falling apart at the seems.
But you never said the road would be easy,
But you said that you would never leave.
And you never promised that this life wasn't hard,
But you promised you'd take care of me.
So I'll stop searching for the answers, I'll stop praying for an escape, And I'll trust you, god, with where I am, And believe that you will have your way. Just have your way. Just have your way.
When my friends and my family have left me,
And I feel so ashamed and so cold.
Remind me that you take broken things
And turn them into gold.
So I'll stop searching for the answers, I'll stop praying for an escape, And I'll trust you, god, with where I am, And believe that you will have your way. Just have your way. Just have your way.
Even if my dreams have died,
And even if I don't survive,
I'll still worship you with all my life.
My life.
Whoa-oh..
And I'll stop searching for the answers,
I'll stop praying for an escape,
And I'll trust you, god, with where I am,
And believe that you will have your way.
Just have your way.
Just have your way.
I know you will. I won't forget. Whoa-oh You love me. Have your way. Yeah
