Help me, Lord, let go
Of all that is not of you
All the silly things I hold dearly
Which distract me, and keep me from you
Lord, help me give up my fear
My hurt, my worry and pride
Help me to hand them over to you
With all the pain I keep inside
O Lord, help me let go
Of trying to be in control
To acknowledge that you are the Boss
That you're the only One in the know
Help me, Lord, let go
Of my failures from the past
Help me receive your grace and forgiveness
And know your love will always last
O Lord, help me let go of stuff
And all the things that I feel I need
The glitter that grabs my attention
From coveting I long to be freed
Lord, help me let go of the past
The things I wish I could change
Take my resentments and regrets
And help my life to be re-arranged
Lord, help me give up
All my insecurities and doubts
Help me absorb your love and grace
Your plans for me, I want to find out
Lord, help me to let go
Of all that's not a call from you
Don't let me waste my energy or time
Getting distracted from following you
Help me, Lord, to hold on to you
And let go of everything else
Fill up my life with purpose and joy
So I don't need to compare myself with anyone else.
