Lyrics
From Heaven You can hear
I know You're drawing near
As I worship .
Held within Your love
The wind and waves will come
But I will stay here .
I lift my hands to Heaven
Here my heart surrendered
I tell my soul again
You are Lord of all
And though the seas are raging
You will speak and tame them
In You I find my rest
You are in control .
Through valleys I will trust
Your spirit is enough, to keep me walking
You guide my every step
Speak life to me again
Lord I need You
Oh I need You .
I lift my hands to Heaven
Here my heart surrendered
I tell my soul again
You are Lord of all
And though the seas are raging
You will speak and tame them
In You I find my rest
You are in control .
I will trust in only You
No one can add to Your perfection
You're the beginning and the end
More than I can comprehend
There is no one like You
No one .
I will trust in only You
No one can add to Your perfection
You're the beginning and the end
More than I can comprehend
There is no one like You
No one .
I will trust in only You
No one can add to Your perfection
You're the beginning and the end
More than I can comprehend
There is no one like You
Jesus .
I lift my hands to Heaven
Here my heart surrendered
I tell my soul again
You are Lord of all
And though the seas are raging
You will speak and tame them
In You I find my rest
You are in control .
I lift my hands to Heaven
Here my heart surrendered
I tell my soul again
You are Lord of all
And though the seas are raging
You will speak and tame them
In You I find my rest
You are in control .
In You I find my rest
You are in control

Meaning & Inspiration
In Control presents worship as an act of trust when circumstances feel unstable. Images of wind, waves, raging seas, and valleys frame the pressure surrounding the singer, while the recurring confession places Christ above that turmoil. Lifted hands and a surrendered heart signal dependence rather than self-reliance. Rest is found not because the storm has already disappeared, but because the Lord is confessed as sovereign within it.
The song also emphasizes divine guidance and sustaining presence. The Spirit is described as sufficient for each step, and the prayer for renewed life gives the verses a personal but clearly devotional direction. Its sea imagery recalls the Gospel account in which Jesus speaks peace to a storm, while its language of surrender aligns with biblical calls to trust God rather than lean on limited understanding. Repetition strengthens the main assurance: amid change, fear, or confusion, Christ remains Lord, guide, and the secure place of rest.
