Cleansing my soul...

Gravity - Shawn McDonald

The ways of this world are grabbing a hold
Won't let me go, won't let me fly by
It taken it's toll down on my soul
'Cause I know what I need in my life
Don't let me lose my sight of You
Don't let me lose my sight

Chorus:
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me on down
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me to the ground

This world keeps making me cry
But I'm going to try, going to try to fly, going to fly high
Don't want to give into the sin, want to stay in You �til the end
Don't want to lose my sight of You
Don't want to lose my sight

Chorus

I want to fly
Into the sky
Turn my back on this old world
Leave it all behind
This place is not my home
It's got nothing for me
Only leaves me with emptiness
And tears in my eyes


This entire song, the lyrics, the truth. I don't want to fall away from Him. I want to stay on the right track and lead the life I was always meant to live. I want to keep my eyes fixed on God. I find myself in a daily struggle - battling within myself, and battling with the wants of this world. I fight every day...I pray. I pray. And I pray.

Father, I don't want to fall away from You...

Letting Go

Today was one of the worst days I have ever experienced. At work it seemed like everything was going wrong, that everyone was putting blaming for things I had no control over. I felt defeated, broken, and done. I prayed, but was not giving it a chance.

At the end of the day, I hooked up my IPod and headed home. Then these words filled my car...

I couldn't seem to fall asleep
There was so much on my mind
Searching for that peace
But the peace I could not find
So then I knealed down to pray
Praying help me please
Then He said you don't have to cry
Cause I'll supply all your needs

As sooon as I stop worrying (soon as I stopped worrying)
Worrying how the story ends (When I let go)
I let go (And I let) and I let God (let Him have)
(Let Him Have) Let God have His way
(That's when things) That's when things start happening
I'll stop looking at back then
I let go and I'll let God have His way

There so much going on
Sometimes I can't find my way
And often times I struggle
Struggle from day to day
I have to realize that it's not my battle
It's not my battle to fight
I have to know if I to put it in His hands
That everything will be alright

(Back to Chorus)

Let go
Let God x5
My brother let go
And let God
My sister you can't handle it
Let God
Oh let go
And let God [x3]
Let go

I breathed in, breathed out, and let go. I let God handle all the hurt and pain I was feeling. I felt so much better, I felt renewed, I felt encouraged, and I felt the love in my heart. Thanks be to God.

Let Go - Lindsey McCaul

I want to let go
I’m weary and bound
I’m giving it up
I’m laying it down
Take it away
Out of my hands
Out of my reach
Safe in Your plans

Cuz I need to know
That You can hear me
Fill me with Your peace
And cover me gently
Like only You can

So take me, hold me
Break me and mold me
Take me, hold me
Break me and mold me
I want to let go

Cradle my hands
Knuckles so white
Open them up
And say its alright
Show me a plan
Call it Your own
Make it a journey
leading me home

Cuz I need to know
That You can hear me
Fill me with Your peace
And cover me gently
Like only You can

So take me, hold me
Break me and mold me
Take me, hold me
Break me and mold me
I want to let go


The first time I heard these lyrics I began to cry. The purity of her voice, the truth in the lyrics...it was beautiful. I love the chorus, "Take me, hold me, break me, and mold me. I want to let go." As I am on this walk with God I pray to let go of all the insignificance in this world. To let go of the pain, the hurt, everything "worldly." If you get a chance take a listen to this song, I am sure it will move you like it did me. God Bless!
