Ok, so no, i didnt write this song, (I DON'T write...lol) But I love this song. Its by Barlowgirl and it hit me like a rock the first time i really listened to it.
I for 1, have perfected and shaped my future in my mind to exactly how i want it, but every time i listen to this song i feel the lord telling me to let go of it all and to want to be the clay in the potters hands.
Like a little child wanting to cross the street, the lord sees the cars in at the end of the road even when we dont. What we want is not always whats best for us. And we need to know that. It kinda like the slow version of "Im Letting Go" By Francesca Battistelli.
Isa 6:8
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
KJV
Isa 64:8
But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
KJV

My hands hold safly to my dreams
Clutching tightly not one has fallen
So many years I've shaped each one
Reflecting my heart showing who I am
Now you're asking me to show
What I'm holding oh so tightly
Can't open my hands can't let go
Does it matter?
Should I show you?
Can't you let me go?

Surrender, surrender you whisper gently
You say I will be free
I know but can't you see?
My dreams are me. My dreams are me

You say you have a plan for me
And that you want the best for my life
Told me the world had yet to see
What you can do with one
That's committed to Your calling
I know of course what I should do
That I can't hold these dreams forever
If I give them now to You
Will You take them away forever?
Or can I dream again?
