Are you in Control?

I have spent most of my life in a control battle with God, which seems ridiculous when you think about it.  Maybe it's the human condition, or maybe it's my personality, but I like to be in control.  I like to think that I am in charge not only of my life but the lives of other people around me.  The truth of the matter is that I'm not, and the more days when I realize this, the better off I am.

I heard this song for the first time the other day and I it sums up this struggle more powerfully than I ever could.

Here are the words... and the song by Natalie Grant.

"King Of The World"

I tried to fit you in the walls inside my mind
I try to keep you safely inbetween the lines
I try to put you in the box that I've designed
I try to pull you down so we are eye to eye

When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world?
I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
How could I make you so small
When you're the one who holds it all
When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world

Just a whisper of your voice can tame the seas
So who am I to try to take the lead
Still I run ahead and think I'm strong enough
When you're the one who made me from the dust

When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world?
I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
How could I make you so small
When you're the one who holds it all
When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world

Ohhhh, you set it all in motion
Every single moment
You brought it all to be
And you're holding on to me

When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world?
I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
How could I make you so small
When you're the one who holds it all
When did I forget you've always been the king of the world
You will always be the king of the world
