Storing up temporal treasures
Holding them as tight as we can
Only gives us passing pleasures
Then they slip through our hands
Hanging on to worldly deceptions
The only ones we fool are ourselves
When we've given up hope and we're in too deep
There's only one thing that will help
Let go and let God
Let Him have His way
With your life every day
Let go, let God
You can try on your own
But you'll find that there's no other way
Letting go means letting the Father
Make us what He wants us to be
More like the Son that He sent us
So that we could all see
That His love for us is eternal
And by giving up control, we will find
That we will gain more than we'll ever lose
If we constantly keep in mind
To let go and let God
Let Him have His way
With your life every day
Let go, let God
You can try on your own
But you'll find that there's no other way
It's okay to feel afraid
But don't let that stand in your way
Let go and let God
Let Him have His way
With your life today
Let go, let God
You can try on your own
But you'll find that there's no other way
