I walk with this disease
At its terminal stage
I do it with ease
Keeping all this rage
“Beloved, when will you let go? ”
I let out a chortle
I put on a smile
The effort required is little
Deep inside I’m full of bile
“Beloved, when will you let go? ”
I sing praises to his name
Yet curse with my mouth
Inside I’m full of shame
And my heart is full of doubt
“Beloved, when will you let go? ”
My heart is stone cold
I rebel with all my might
I refuse to do what I’m told
I love to put on a fight
“Beloved, when will you let go? ”
Now I lay here in bed
You’ve got my full attention
I’m hanging by a thread
Breathe my life back into motion
Because I’m dying, dying, dead
“Beloved, you’ve got to let go
Because of this, it led you to fall
All this anger, pain, and sorrow
Why didn’t you answer my call?
Beloved, just let it go”
“Forgive as I have forgiven
But not in your current state
First you have to be broken
Then a new heart in you I will create
Beloved, just let it go”
“Your heart is not right
You must repent
Just give up the fight
Relent
Beloved, just let it go”
“My grace and mercies are sufficient for you
Leave all the past behind
Arise and come forth anew
And peace is what you will find
Beloved, just let it go”
I’ve finally let go
A burden’s been lifted
I need your strength to help me grow
Now I realize how I’ve drifted
Thank you Jesus, please never let me go
