lyrics

From time to time I'll wonder why
The Bible always says that I should
Trust in God and not in what I've done
Why can't I try things on my own?
Why can't I live on bread alone?
What's wrong with letting me have any fun?

But I can't wonder any more
'Cause there's a roar I can't ignore inside my heart

And he says:
Nope, that won't do,
I have much bigger plans for you,
I love you so, that's what I do
So please just know that I am holding on to you.

Now I abide by all these rules
But why be tied down like a fool?
Balloons like me just want to float away
Don't I perceive what's best for me?
So can't he leave the rest for me?
Does freedom not mean anything these days?

But I truly couldn't do it
'Cause I knew that he'd break through inside my heart

'Cause He says:
Nope, that's not OK,
I will not let you slip away,
My kingdom needs a guy like you,
So please believe that I like holding on to you

Sometimes I worry and I doubt
And wonder how I'm missing out
I didn't count on such a narrow road
Faithfulness is such a bore
Could I be tasting so much more
If I should choose to let the whole thing go?

And maybe if I wander
then my Father wouldn't bother me again

But He says:
Child, please hear my voice,
Although I gave you your own choice,
To be apart won't set you free
Just search your heart and know you're better off with me

So I say:
Yep, I guess you're right
You won't let go without a fight
I was not made to be alone (you were not made to be alone)
I must not journey on my own (you must not journey on your own)
I can't ignore a love so true (you can't ignore a love so true)
So evermore I will be holding on to you
