Somehow You Want Me New Single by Tenth Avenue North

“What if I told you God doesn’t need you, He wants you?" asks Mike Donehey of Tenth Avenue North when talking about their No. 1 song "Control." "What if I told you that your loveliness to God doesn’t rise and fall with your usefulness to God? God doesn't need us to be successful, He wants us to be surrendered.”

This week, Tenth Avenue North debuted the video for their No. 1 Billboard Christian Airplay song, "Control." This is the band's third career Billboard Christian Airplay No. 1 radio single and 12th Top Ten radio single.

Control (Somehow You Want Me)

Here I am, all my intentions

All my obsessions, I wanna lay them all down

In Your hands

Only Your love is vital

Though I'm not entitled

Still You call me Your child

God, You don't need me, but somehow You want me

Oh, how You love me, somehow that frees me

To take my hands off of my life and the way it should go

Oh, God, You don't need me, but somehow You want me

Oh, how You love me, somehow that frees me

To open my hands up and give You control

I give You control

I've had plans shattered and broken

Things I have hoped in, fall through my hands

You have plans to redeem and restore me

You're behind and before me

Oh, help me believe

God, You don't need me, but somehow You want me

Oh, how You love me, somehow that frees me

To take my hands off of my life and the way it should go

Oh, God, You don't need me, but somehow You want me

Oh, how You love me, somehow that frees me

To open my hands up and give You control

You want me, somehow You want me

The King of Heaven wants me

So this world has lost its grip on me(Repeat)

God, You don't need me, but somehow You want me

Oh, how You love me, somehow that frees me

To take my hands off of my life and the way it should go

Oh, God, You don't need me, but somehow You want me

Oh, how You love me, somehow that frees me

To open my hands up and give You control

I give You control

You want me, somehow You want me

The King of Heaven wants me

So this world has lost its grip on me
