My Will
Dc Talk and Newsboys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm now the man I, once couldn't be.
Nothing on Earth could, now ever move me.
I now have the will and, the strength a man needs.
It's my will, and I'm not moving.
'Cause if it's your will, nothing can shake me.
It's my will, to bow and praise you
Complexity haunts me, for I am two men.
Entrenched in a battle, that I'll never win.
My discipline fails me, my knowledge it fools me.
But you are my shelter, the strength that I need.
I'm learning to give up, the rights to myself.
The bits and the pieces, I've gathered as wealth.
And nothing compares to, the joy that you bring me.
The peace that you've shown me, is the strength that I need.
We've got to be, Children of Peace
We've got to be, Children of Peace
In "My Will," Dc Talk and Newsboys merge their Christian pop/rock sounds to create a powerful, upbeat song that explores themes of faith, strength, and personal will. The lyrics are about the singer's transformation from a weak, unfocused man into a strong believer who has gained spiritual fortitude and discipline. Through his faith, he is able to find his purpose and overcome his internal battles.
The first verse sets the stage for the themes of the song, with the singer declaring that he is now a man with the will and strength needed to achieve the things he loves. The second verse delves into the complexity of faith, admitting that the singer is still battling with his own weaknesses and doubts. But ultimately, he is able to find shelter and strength in God.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that the singer's will is now aligned with God's will. He is unmovable because he has the strength of his faith and his will to praise and bow down to God. Finally, the song ends with a call to be "children of peace," which can be interpreted as a reminder to live peacefully with others and to seek peace within ourselves through our faith.
