Forgive me, Lord, for the things in this world
I’ve put security in
Forgive me, Lord for the things I’ve held on to
Unwilling to let go
Forgive me, Lord, for the things in my heart
I’ve been so blind to
Forgive me, Lord, for the things in my life
I’ve taken control of
Lord I’m on my knees, I can’t do it anymore
These reins are too much for me to bear
I mess it up when I’ve got control
Lord I’m on my knees, broken and ashamed
Here once more, messed up again
Distressed and weeping at your throne
Take it all, I’m letting go
I don’t want it anymore
I’ve held on far too long
I’m letting go of everything
‘Cuz without you everything is nothing
But with you nothing is everything
And I’d take nothing any day
As long as I have you
Though ashamed my head bows at your feet
You calmly lift my eyes to your own
Your love it breaks me, so redeeming, so deep
Though unworthy I feel to stand before you
You unhesitantly draw me into your arms
Your grace it amazes me, so saving, so vast
How could I live for anything but this?
There’s pain in this laying down of self
It makes me see how wrong I’ve been
But there’s more beauty than pain in the offering
For your blood covers me
And your joy strengthens me
When I lift my eyes up to your throne
Nothing else can I see, your glory’s too great
To take up your cross I have to lay it all down
I can’t carry both at the same time
But I’ve seen how empty all the other stuff is
Not carrying your cross leaves no reason to live
But with death to self greater life is found
I want to take up your cross and never put it down,
So
Take it all, I’m letting go
I don’t want it anymore
I’ve held on far too long
I’m letting go of everything
‘Cuz without you everything is nothing
But with you nothing is everything
And I’d take nothing any day
As long as I have you
