Captive In Your Sky

This is a blog. Much like any other blog, it’s a place where I can mount a soapbox and throw my thoughts to the wind hoping someone may find something of use to their life.

The title is derived from the song “Control” by Mutemath. The lyrics are below, I’ve highlighted some of my favorite lines. The song is, to me, a perfect description of how we should view our relationship with God. “There is NO reason I should breathe unless you’re in the air.” We are nothing without God. We might as well be dead without him.

Take control of the atmosphere

Take me far away from here

There is no better loss than to lose myself in you
In a parachute to glide, I am captive in your sky
Surrender has somehow become so beautifulTake control of the atmosphere
Take control of the atmosphere
You can take my world, you can fill the air
Take control
Take controlIt’s such a beautiful surrender [x4]Move me up through the darkest clouds
Till I’ve lost in the sun every shadow of doubt
There is no better find than to find myself with you
In a fog you are all I see
I’m inviting you closer with each time I breathe
Surrender has somehow become so beautifulTake control of the atmosphere
Take control of the atmosphere
You can take my world, you can fill the air
Take control
Take control
Take control
Take control

It’s such a beautiful surrender [x4]

Take control of the atmosphere
Take control of the atmosphere
There’s no reason I should breathe unless you’re in the air
Take control

It’s such a beautiful surrender [x2]

And I’m calling out
Would you take control?
And I’m calling out
