The Strength To Let Go

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't like to admit

When I'm wrong and need gifts

Of forgiveness instead of applause

I was dying to prove to myself I could make it alone

Hah, yeah

It took years to confess

That Your love was the best

At unraveling all of my pride

Had to laugh at myself when I realized that You were my home

Give me the strength to let go

Give me the strength to surrender

Give me the strength to stop holding on

I've been holding on so long

Give me the strength to let go

And show me the way to come home

And show me the way to come home

Yeah, I'm stubborn and bold

But sometimes it gets old

Fighting voices inside of my brain

I was trying to pretend I was fine when inside it was war

With the stumbling beat

Of my heart and my feet

And the faults of my failures and pains

To think all of this time, I had wings that were ready to soar

Give me the strength to let go

Give me the strength to surrender

Give me the strength to stop holding on

I've been holding on so long

Give me the strength to let go

And show me the way to come home

And show me the way to come home

Oh love, light the way home

Light up my soul, I choose mercy instead of control

My life is on loan, forgive and let go

I embrace a belief I don't know

What a beautiful sound to lay your life down

Your forgiveness is where I am found

Here in Your arms I finally let down

I am lightning and You are the ground

I am lightning and You are the ground

Give me the strength to let go

Won't You give me the faith to surrender?

Come on, give me the strength to stop holding on

I've been holding on so long

Won't You give me the strength to let go?

And show me the way to come home

(I am lightning and You are the ground)

Won't You show me the way to come home?

(I am lightning and You are the ground)

Show me the way to come home
