Bethany Dillon Album: Imagination Track: All That I Can Do
All That I Can Do Lyrics
I ran around the room again I ran outside, and then I ran back in And I just couldn't get away from myself I don't care what tomorrow brings I won't back down for anything I want to think that I was made for something else
I can't wait anymore I'm ready to reach So I'm closing the door behind me
All that I can do is hold onto You And to follow where You lead Where You're leading me All that I can do is hold onto You And let You bring me through It's all that I can do
There are days I think I don't need You There are days when I can't see the truth I need You to save me from the lies Because every thought that's in my head And even when I draw my next breath You knew it all before there was time
When the waves begin to rise And all my hope fails In confidence, I'll close my eyes Trusting You'll be there
'This past spring Ed played some music for me that he and a friend, Dave Barnes, had written while I was at home in Ohio. I immediately fell in love with it... it was so alive and inviting. We sat on the deck outside of the studio one afternoon and, yet again, God provided the lyric in just a few hours. The wonderful thing about it was that it echoed our hearts during that frantic time of feeling pressure to finish the record:
"When the waves begin to rise/And all my hope fails/In confidence, I'll close my eyes/Trusting You'll be there/Be there..."
I admit that I'm so easily led away by busyness and schedules; I look over the need to trust God and just depend on myself. And the strange thing about it is that only creates more worry and anxiety. I'm learning that the only way true peace can be found is when I let go of my fear and self-sufficiency and hold tight onto Jesus.' - Bethany Dillon
