Relent

There is this song that I've been listening to for some time. Do you ever get to that place where you feel numb but you know you can't stay there? Like in the midst of the haze you know it should be better but you just don't know how to get free.  The song lyrics are:

You won't relent
Until You have it all
My heart is Yours

I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
And many waters cannot quench this love

Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one

 
I don't want to talk about you like your not in the room
want to look right at you
want to sing right to you.

Looking at the thesaurus you get a bigger understanding of the word Relent.

Main Entry: relent
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: die down; let up
Synonyms: acquiesce, be merciful, capitulate, cave in, change one's mind, come around, comply, cool it, cry uncle, die away, drop, ease, ease off, ease up on, ebb, fall, fold, forbear, give in, give quarter, give some slack, give up, give way, go along with, go easy on, have mercy, have pity, lay back, let go, let it happen, lighten up, mellow out, melt, moderate, quit, relax, say uncle, show mercy, slacken, slow, soften, subside, wane, weaken, yield
Antonyms: build, increase, rise

So God will not ease up, comply, capitulate, be merciful (?), until our hearts are His. Scary and comforting, He will not leave me in the haze, he won't give quarter until I am all he created me for.
 Here is the song link for you.
You Won't Relent
