Ain't worth stressing about
I'm gonna pray and not doubt
That my God can work it out
Work it out, yeah
I take care of what I can
And I'll leave the rest in His hands
Trust that God can work it out
Work it out
'Cause the lilies ain't worried 'bout it
And the birds ain't chirpin' 'bout it
And You've done more for me
Than You've done for the trees
So why would I even doubt it?
If the rocks on the ground can say it
And a sky full of clouds can paint it
Who am I to be here complaining?
Only thinking 'bout what I would change
This is Your world
I'm just living in it
I'm just walking through it
Knowing that You're with me
This is Your world
I'm just living in it
I'm just praying through it
Knowing that You listen
Hold up
Every single one of my own plans
See, I'd rather have Your heart
So I'll put 'em in Your hands
This is Your world
I'm just living in it
The world hasn't stopped turning
The sun hasn't stopped burning
You make the universe expand
Just because You can
And I know You're more concerned about me
Worry won't add another minute to my life
Before I started, You charted out the finish line, Father
This is Your world
I'm just living in it
I'm just walking through it
Knowing that You're with me
This is Your world
I'm just living in it
I'm just praying through it
Knowing that You listen
Hold up
Every single one of my own plans
See, I'd rather have Your heart
So I put 'em in Your hands, hold up
Hold up
Every single one of my own plans
See, I'd rather have Your heart
So I put 'em in Your hands (Hold up)
Hold, hold, hold up
Every single one of my own plans (Own plans)
See, I'd rather have Your heart (Your heart)
So I put 'em in Your hands
Basically, I'll trust You Lord
Yeah with my life
Yeah, hold up, yeah
Hold up
Every single one of my own plans (Own plans)
See, I'd rather have Your heart (No, my plans ain't worth losing You)
So I put 'em in Your hands (Hold up)
Hold, hold, hold up
Every single one of my own plans (Tell me what you think about this)
See I'd rather have Your heart (And tell me how you feel about that)
So I put 'em in Your hands
"Your World (Adulting Remix)" by Jonathan McReynolds is a powerful and uplifting song that speaks to the challenges and pressures of adulting, while reminding us of God's sovereignty and faithfulness in every aspect of our lives. The song encourages listeners to trust in God's plans and to surrender our own desires and worries to Him.
The lyrics of the song beautifully capture the essence of the struggles we face as we navigate through the complexities of adulthood. McReynolds acknowledges that there are many things that we cannot control, but he encourages us to pray and trust that God can work it out. He reminds us that just like the lilies of the field and the birds of the air, we should not worry or be consumed by anxiety because God takes care of them and He will surely take care of us too.
This message is rooted in scripture, particularly in Matthew 6:25-34. Jesus teaches us not to worry about our lives, what we will eat or drink, or what we will wear, for our heavenly Father knows what we need. Instead, we are called to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto us. This passage resonates with the theme of "Your World (Adulting Remix)" as it reminds us to focus on God and trust Him to provide for us in every aspect of our lives.
The song also emphasizes the importance of surrendering our own plans and desires to God. McReynolds sings, "Every single one of my own plans, see, I'd rather have Your heart, so I put 'em in Your hands." This echoes Proverbs 16:9, which says, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." It serves as a reminder that while we may have our own plans and desires, ultimately, it is God who directs our steps and has the best plan for our lives.
The overall message of the song is one of trust and reliance on God. It encourages us to shift our focus from our own worries and concerns to God's faithfulness and sovereignty. It reminds us that we are just living in His world, and He is with us every step of the way. This message is both comforting and empowering, as it reminds us that we do not have to face the challenges of adulting alone, but rather, we can lean on God and trust Him to guide us through.
Jonathan McReynolds' "Your World (Adulting Remix)" is a timely and relevant song that speaks to the struggles and pressures of adulting, while offering a message of hope and trust in God. It encourages listeners to surrender their worries, fears, and plans to God, knowing that He is in control and He will work everything out for our good. It serves as a reminder to seek God first in all aspects of our lives and to trust Him to lead us on the path He has set before us.
