Control (Somehow You Want Me) by Tenth Avenue North is an electrifying tune that will remind you of your relevance and purpose here on Earth.
“What if I told you God doesn’t need you, he wants you? What if I told you your loveliness for God doesn’t rise and fall with your usefulness? That’s tough for us because anybody that we interact with if we’re gut level honest, their loveliness is rising and falling with their usefulness. But for God, He’s the King of the universe and for Him to hang out with any of us He doesn’t climb up the social ladder, He’s climbing down it, always. So it comes as no great surprise when Jesus descends to earth, not only does He climb down the ladder to earth, He chases us all the way down to hell. He doesn’t do that because He needs you to be productive, He does that because He wants you, just you. Nothing you’re going to do for Him, nothing you going to achieve for Him just you.” – Mike Donehey (Tenth Avenue North)

Lyrics
Here I am
All my intentions
All my obsessions
I want to lay them all down
In Your hands
Only Your love is vital
Though I’m not entitled
Still You call me Your child
God You don’t need me
But somehow You want me
Oh how You love me
Somehow that frees me
To take my hands off of my life
And the way it should go
God You don’t need me
But somehow You want me
Oh how You love me
Somehow that frees me
To open my hands up
And give You control
I give You control
I’ve had plans
Shattered and broken
Things I have hoped in
Fall through my hands
You have plans
To redeem and restore me
You’re behind and before me
Oh help me believe
God You don’t need me
But somehow You want me
Oh how You love me
Somehow that frees me
To take my hands off of my life
And the way it should go, oh
God You don’t need me
But somehow You want me
Oh how You love me
Somehow that frees me
To open my hands up
And give You control
Oh You want me
Somehow You want me
The King of Heaven wants me
So this world has lost it’s grip on me
[x2]
God You don’t need me
But somehow You want me
Oh how You love me
Somehow that frees me
To take my hands off of my life
And the way it should go, oh
God You don’t need me
But somehow You want me
Oh how You love me
Somehow that frees me
To open my hands up
And give You control
I give You control
Oh, give You control
Oh I want to give You control
I give You control
Oh You want me
Somehow You want me
The King of Heaven wants me
So this world has lost it’s grip on me
