Amanda Cook Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the striving cease
I lay down my crown
Here at Your feet
I will trust
Here in the mystery
I will trust
Awake my soul to sing
With Your breath in me
I will worship
You taught my feet
To dance upon disappointment
And I, I will worship
Let the weary rise
Lift their eyes to see
Your love crushing every lie
Every doubt and fear
I will trust
Here in the mystery
I will trust
In You completely
Awake my soul to sing
With Your breath in me
I will worship
You taught my feet
To dance upon disappointment
And I, I will worship
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You are making all things new
Awake my soul to sing
With Your breath in me
I will worship
You taught my feet
To dance upon disappointment
And I, I will worship

The bridge repeats the chorus with the addition of a hallelujah, and acknowledges God's power to bring about newness and transformation.

Heróis
Deixe os heróis descansarem
Deixe o esforço cessar
Eu dou minha coroa
Aqui a seus pés
Eu vou confiar
Aqui no mistério
Eu vou confiar
Em você completamente
Desperta minha alma para cantar
Com o seu ar em mim
Eu vou adorar
Você ensinou meus pés a dançarem
Após a decepção e eu
Eu vou adorar
Deixe o cansado ressurgir
Deixe seus olhos para ver
Seu amor esmagando toda mentira
Toda a dúvida e medo
Eu vou confiar
Aqui no mistério
Eu vou confiar
Em você completamente
Desperta minha alma para cantar
Com o seu ar em mim
Eu vou adorar
Você ensinou meus pés a dançarem
Após a decepção e eu
Eu vou adorar
Aleluia, Aleluia

Tudo novo

I cried when I heard “you’re not embarrassed, you’re not ashamed... you stand in wonder of what you made” So many times I get nervous about what people will think about me in my past or present, but God looks beyond every fault. This song is great reminder of that. God’s love is unconditional. “IAM LOVED, I AM LOVED BY YOU”
