Let go

A long time ago, my friend Casey Morgan shared this song with me… I have never forgotten these words, nor the truth of living them. Being willing to let go of stuff is not as easy as it sounds, but it is so worth it. So many things we cling to are dead weights – anchors – that drag us down and hinder our movement. That is what Paul is talking about in Hebrews 12:1-2 when he says “…It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running – and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in.”

LET GO
If there is only one god
Why do we serve so many
If there is only one law
Why do we live like there aren’t any
I’m not trying to get you down
I just want you to know
That if you going to live for God
You’ve got to let go

Got to let go of the little things
Before they get you down
Got to let go or they’ll drag you to the bottom
And hold you down
It’s a war we all fight
And compromise is the battleground
But if you’re ever gonna grow
You’ve got to let go

If there’s only one truth
One original way
Why do we search like blind men
Can’t see the sunshine in the light of day
We’ve got to turn around
And run the other way
Cause if we’re gonna live for God
We’ve got to turn away

Turn away from the little things
Before they get us down
Turn away or they’ll drag us to the bottom
And hold us down
It’s a war we’ll fight
And compromise is the battleground
But if we’re ever gonna change
We’ve got to turn away
