When we let go…
Our circumstances change,
Because the idol that had gripped our heart
No longer it remains.
When we let go…
It isn’t easy indeed,
But it liberates us to move forward
As it truly sets us free.
It’s when we let go…
That things begin to happen,
And we hear of many great examples
As it becomes a pattern.
The lady who so desperately
Is wanting to conceive,
Most times will fall pregnant
When expectations are released.
The person who so desperately
Is yearning for a change,
Will be set free once they discover
That God truly will sustain.
If we constantly desire
And ask for many things,
We’ll be free when we surrender
To enjoy the peace God brings.
When we let go…
And allow God’s sovereignty,
We’ll discover a joy and a peace
Where God’s love we feel and see.
It’s that tight grip that enslaves
As we prohibit the release,
Of God’s blessings and His promises
When our idolatry won’t cease.
But when we let go…
There’s a freedom that abounds,
Knowing God will guide and will protect
When trust in Him is found.
