LETTING GO FOR DEAR LIFE

Song by Tenth Avenue North, contemporary Christian band.

Letting Go For Dear Life

Holding on for dear life so long
I’ve been proud, I’ve been wrong
I’ve been nothing but headstrong
Building up my towers so tall
But I’m learning to trust You enough, to let them fall, yeah
‘Cause I’m done holding on
Now I, I’m letting go for dear life
Lay down my head for something light
I’m letting go for dear life
Now I see who I am in Your eyes
Nothing to hold but hands high
I’m letting go for dear life, dear life
I’m not looking back with regret
‘Cause Your mercy’s an offer that’s new every morning
And if You laid aside Your glory
Then why wouldn’t I lay aside all my worry?
I, I’m letting go for dear life

Lay down my head for something light
I’m letting go for dear life
Now I see who I am in Your eyes
Nothing to hold but hands high
I’m letting go for dear life, dear life

And with these empty hands, I got nothing left to prove
And with these empty hands, I can only reach for You
When I lose my life, it’s there I find
The One who gave His life for mine
When I lose my life, it’s there I find
The One who gave His life for mine
I, I’m letting go for dear life
Lay down my head for something light
I’m letting go for dear life
Now I see who I am in Your eyes
Nothing to hold but hands high
I’m letting go for dear life, dear life
