THE STRENGTH TO LET GO

I don't like to admit When I'm wrong and need gifts Of forgiveness instead of applause I was dying to prove to myself I could make it alone Hah, yeah It took years to confess That your love was the best At unraveling all of my pride Had to laugh at myself when I realized that you were my home [Chorus] Give me the strength to let go Give me the strength to surrender Give me the strength to stop holding on I've been holding on so long Give me the strength to let go And show me the way to come home And show me the way to come home [Verse 2] Yeah, I'm stubborn and bold But sometimes it gets old Fighting voices inside of my brain I was trying to pretend I was fine when inside it was war With the stumbling beat Of my heart and my feet And the faults of my failures and pains To think all of this time, I had wings that were ready to soar [Chorus] Give me the strength to let go Give me the strength to surrender Give me the strength to stop holding on I've been holding on so long Give me the strength to let go And show me the way to come home And show me the way to come home [Bridge] Oh love, light the way home Light up my soul, I choose mercy instead of control My life is on loan, forgive and let go I embrace a belief I don't know What a beautiful sound, to lay your life down Your forgiveness is where I am found Here in your arms, I finally let down I am lightning and you are the ground I am lightning and you are the ground [Chorus] Give me the strength to let go Won't you give me the faith to surrender? Come on, give me the strength to stop holding on I've been holding on so long Won't you give me the strength to let go? And show me the way to come home (I am lightning and you are the ground) Won't you show me the way to come home? (I am lightning and you are the ground) Show me the way to come home
