lyrics

I’ve tried doing this on my own
But every time I do I fall
There’s nothing to learn and nothing to say
‘Cause independence does things her own way

Fighting to be free at last
Giving it everything I can
If only I could learn to be
Dependent on someone that ain’t me

My options are running dry
My fear is running high
The walls are closing in
And I’ve got nothing left to give

I’m starting to see just what this was
I never knew what the cross had done
So I ran and I ran from the one called Love
But no, not once did you stand and watch

You ran after me
Like I was a prize to be won
And you want me
Independent of what I’ve done

Pulling me out of my manmade hole
I take your hand, and let go of my own
Learning to trust, I’m learning to lean
But your palm in mine holds certainty

about

Yaz Williams San Antonio, Texas

My songs are moments and parables, inspired by the movements of my heart and the ebbs and flows of life in God. My desire is to share narratives that redeem perspectives of the nature of God and to unlock in listeners the recognition of beauty. 

I am a kiwi, now based in Australia, passionate about creating in family.
I am a part of Beth-Biri in Brisbane, working to cultivate creative community.
