Lyrics
You define love
Love does not need my definition
You define peace
Peace does not need my permission
You define love, before I had a word for it
Overflowing river, I just learn to surf in it
Every time I try to box it in, I'm distorting it
Love was here first, I'm the one discovering
I've been busy drawing lines, You've been breaking fences
I've been stacking reasons, You've been dropping blessings
I've been trying to measure, You've been going endless
I've been guarded, You've been present in the tension
You define peace in the middle of my war
Storm inside my chest, but You whisper, "Be assured"
I've been begging for a map, You've been guiding by Your light
I keep reaching for control, You keep holding me tonight
You define peace, it does not need my permission
You define joy, deeper than my definition
You define me, far beyond my comprehension
What You created needs no defense, no explanation
You define peace, it does not need my permission
You define joy, stronger than my opposition
You define me, higher than my own opinion
What You created needs no defense, no definition
You define joy where my logic runs out
When the math don't add up, You're the answer, no doubt
Not a painted-on smile, not pretending I'm fine
It's a well in the dark, living water inside
I've been chasing feelings, You've been offering a presence
I've been numbing all the pain, You've been working in the pressure
I've been asking for escape, You've been giving me a shelter
Every tear in my eyes, You've been turning into treasure
You define peace in the middle of my fear
Thunder in my mind, but Your whisper's still clear
I've been begging for a sign, You've been here the whole time
I keep reaching for control, You keep calling me Your child
You define peace, it does not need my permission
You define joy, deeper than my definition
You define me, far beyond my comprehension
What You created needs no defense, no explanation
You define peace, it does not need my permission
You define joy, stronger than my opposition
You define me, higher than my own opinion
What You created needs no defense, no definition
You define me when I don't recognize my face
When the mirror shows my failures, You speak mercy, You say "grace"
You define me when the labels start to weigh
Every name they tried to give me, You just gently wipe away
You define me, not my status, not my scars
Not the times that I have stumbled, not the distance from Your heart
You define me by the breath that You have placed inside my lungs
By the beauty of beginning where the world had called me done
What You created needs no defense (needs no defense)
What You created needs no explanation (no explanation)
What You created needs no name from me (no name from me)
You already spoke it, said it's good, let it be
What You created needs no defense (needs no defense)
What You created needs no explanation (no explanation)
What You created needs no name from me (no name from me)
You already spoke it, said it's good, let it be
You define peace, it does not need my permission
You define joy, deeper than my definition
You define me, far beyond my comprehension
What You created needs no defense, no explanation
You define peace, it does not need my permission
You define joy, stronger than my opposition
You define me, higher than my own opinion
What You created needs no defense, no definition
You define love
Love does not need my definition
You define peace
Peace does not need my permission
You define joy
Joy does not need my understanding
You define me, and what You created
Needs no defense, needs no explanation
Needs no new name from me
