Meaning & Inspiration
“Have Your Way” by Todd Galberth and Jabari Johnson is a worship song that asks God to work freely in the room and in the singer’s life. The opening repeats “Burn it away” and “Have Your way,” asking for anything that does not belong to be removed.
The verse is a request for presence: “Overflow in this place, have Your way in this place, we want more in this place.” It then says, “We can’t walk without You, we can’t talk without You, we can’t live without You,” which is close to John 15:5, where Jesus says that apart from Him believers can do nothing.
The bridge is the most direct prayer: “If it’s not pleasing to You, take it out of me.” That wording echoes Psalm 139:23-24, where the psalmist asks God to search the heart. The song is simple and repeated, a surrendered prayer for God to have His way.
