Lord, Help Me Let Go of Myself

Lord, help me let go of myself,

The one thing I still call mine.

The world may take my treasures,

Steal the work of these hands in time.

But deep within this heart of mine,

Behind these walls I've built so well,

There's a throne I've held too tightly,

And I'm afraid to leave it still.

You gave Yourself to ransom me,

You bore the cross and paid the cost.

Yet somehow I keep holding on

To what was never mine at all.

Lord, help me let go of myself,

Lay every fear before Your throne.

Teach these trembling hands to open,

Teach this wandering heart You're home.

Give me peace enough to trust You,

When I cannot see the way.

Let me find the freedom waiting

In surrender day by day.

I know Your will is good and perfect,

Though it leads where I can't see.

And every road I've tried alone

Has only brought me back to need.

So take these dreams, these plans, these burdens,

The weight I've carried far too long.

If losing me means finding Jesus,

Then losing me is gaining all.

Not my wisdom, not my strength,

Not the kingdoms I defend.

Only Christ alive within me,

Only grace that has no end.

Lord, help me let go of myself,

Lay every fear before Your throne.

Teach these trembling hands to open,

Teach this wandering heart You're home.

Give me peace enough to trust You,

When I cannot see the way.

Let me find the freedom waiting

In surrender day by day.

Your yoke is easy, Your burden light,

You trade my striving for Your life.

The more I yield, the more I see

The chains were never forged by Thee.

The prison door was opened wide,

Yet I was clinging from inside.

So take my heart and make it Yours,

For that's what freedom truly is. �

Lord, help me let go of myself,

The only thing I've left to give.

And let me rest within Your mercy,

Learning what it means to live.

Give me peace enough to trust You,

Till my will and Yours are one.

And let me know the joy of walking

In the footsteps of Your Son.

Lord, help me let go of myself...

And find my life in You.
