Kutless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I am willing to put on my faith in Your plan.
Come and take my life.
Make my soul refreshed in truth now.
I am ready for You.
Take my heart and make me new now.
To come and fill my soul.
Cleanse all of my mind that is not of You.
Break me, teaching me how to find rest in Your hands.
Come and take my life.
Make my soul refreshed in truth now.
I am ready for You.
Take my heart and make me new now.
I am ready for You
To come and fill my soul.
To come and fill my soul.
Whatever it takes,
I'm needing to make Your will be done
And I'm letting go of my control,
For I see what You've done in me.
I am ready for You.
Take my heart and make me new now.
I am ready for You
To come and fill my soul.
The theme of Kutless's "Ready for You" is about complete surrender to God's plan and will for one's life. The first few lines of the song say, "Lord, You take my heart away with Your love, and I am willing to put on my faith in Your plan." The lyrics admit that God's love has the power to capture one's heart and that the singer is willing to trust in God's plan for their life. The chorus repeats "I am ready for You, take my heart and make me new now" emphasizing the theme of surrender and allowing God to transform one's life.
The second verse expands on this surrender by asking God to renew the singer's mind and break them, teaching them to find rest in His hands. This is another aspect of surrender where the singer admits that their current thought patterns are not of God and they need Him to change them. The bridge of the song declares the singer's willingness to do whatever it takes to make God's will be done and to let go of their control. They admit that they have seen what God has done in their life, and they trust Him to continue to do great things.
Overall, "Ready for You" is a powerful song about surrendering to God's will and allowing Him to transform one's life. It is a great reminder to trust in God even when things feel uncertain, and to surrender control to Him.
