Out of Control

My grandpa is in the hospital. He is having chest pains and he's waiting for tests to find out what's wrong. I'm pulling for him, 100%.

I would not be able to bear to lose him. Not now. I went to visit him today and I'm crying right now over the fact that my life would never be the same if he left. But just talking to him, I remembered of how great of a man he is. He was much more interested in what was going on in my life than all the terrible things he was going through. He's amazing.

Situations like this always remind me that I have little to no control over anything in this life. God is in control of it all. So whatever this is, I know it's going to be okay.

Sometimes it's okay to be out of control. With God at the wheel life is a lot more comforting, but he does take some unexpected turns sometimes.

OUT OF CONTROL

What I needed to hear wasn't coming in clear
and what I now know is only partial info
I speak over tempo to put words into motion
you can't stay stagnant with the future that's approching
So where do you stand?
It's either break or be broken.
Forget dry land I'd rather stand in the ocean
and let the waves of devotion roll over me
Irony, I had to suffocate before I could breathe
I'm in a head space I've never been before
ever since my feet hit the shore
I tell you boy it feels good so give me some more
it feels good

It's a bit passionate for your radio
but that's alright though it's good for your soul
and it feels good to be out of control
I said it feels good to be out of control

Now ain't that something adrenaline rushing
and I'm touching the heart of God and adjusting
rather nicely to the feeling that's inside of me alive in me
continually guiding me and surprising me
It's beyond my reach but it's in my grasp
I walk steadfast along a narrow path
Avoiding snares and traps and all else that seems to keep me
from who I need to be right now I'm thinking clearly
and I'm in a head space I've never been before
ever since my feet hit the shore I tell you ha,
it feels good so give me some more
it feels good...
