Hillsong Worship - In Control Lyrics
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

In Control - Hillsong Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
"In Control," by Hillsong Worship, released on May 11, 2017, stands as a powerful declaration of divine sovereignty and the peace found in surrendering personal autonomy to a loving God. The song is deeply rooted in the understanding that even amidst life's unpredictable currents, the Almighty remains steadfast and sovereign, orchestrating all things for His good purposes. This theme resonates profoundly with the biblical narrative, particularly with passages that speak to God's all-encompassing plan and His unwavering presence. Consider the assurance found in Romans 8:28, which states, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This verse encapsulates the core message of "In Control," suggesting that every circumstance, whether perceived as positive or challenging, is ultimately held within a divine framework designed for our ultimate betterment. The song encourages a posture of trust, mirroring the psalmist's declaration in Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," which speaks to a complete reliance on God's provision and guidance. Furthermore, the understanding of God's control extends to the very fabric of our lives, as highlighted in Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This prophetic assurance underpins the song's invitation to relinquish anxiety and embrace the certainty of divine leadership. The lyrical content, through its unwavering affirmation of God's dominion, calls listeners to a deeper faith, reminding them that true freedom is not found in self-reliance but in the liberating surrender to the One who truly holds the reins of all existence. It’s a call to rest in the knowledge that our lives are not adrift but are purposefully steered by a God who loves us, a truth that offers profound encouragement and lasting peace.
