​

In The Letting Go

​

​

When things that you hold, are holding you 

Keeping you, from what you could do

​

Keeping you, from who you could be

Pray for the courage to set them free

​

Things that hold us,while not all wrong

Can take a hold on us, that’s strong

​

To hold the peace we long to know

We have to choose to let them go

​

I long to be admired, esteemed

To hold the things for which I’ve dreamed

​

To “be enough”  and to be sure

The good in life  I can secure

​

And it is good to dream, to plan,

To want to do the best I can

​

But I have learned it better by far

To find the joy in where you are

​

I have learned that in my story

There is really little glory

​

And I have learned that better still 

Is to want God's Sovereign will

​

Moments lived for God Divine

Are moments where His brilliance shines

​

He is the brightness of the sun

His glory cannot be outdone

​

To know Him is to know there’s more

Than just this life, worth living for

​

It is to know my dreams are small

And really not that great at all

​

Unknown the wonders of His art

Of which my life, is one small part

​

Unfathomable the glory He

Prepares for all eternity

​

The letting go is hard it’s true

But in the end for those who do

​

Greater things these few will find

Than all the things they leave behind

​

Their sorrows it does not erase 

But it allows them to embrace

​

A hope that waits around the bend

Of joy to come time without end

​

Lord give me grace in the letting go

Your greater love to deeper know

​

And in the decrease may it be

I grow in Christ, increasingly

​

Until the last of “me” is gone

And you call me home that brighter dawn

​

Refine me as the fire does gold

Till You alone are all I hold

​

“As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.”  Psalm 17:15
