(Verse 1 - Male)
(Struggling, low energy)
Abba, Father, hear the cry of my soul
A heavy burden taking its toll
I'm desperate for something I can't name
Fighting the shadows in this lonely game
I’ve been trying to hold on to the reins
Using my own strength to break the chains
But the light is dimming, my joy’s a ghost
I need deliverance now, more than most.
(Pre-Chorus - Female)
(Gentle but firm)
Oh, you're running too hard, son, who are you trying to please?
Taking on assignments that don't bring you ease
You know the weariness, you feel it deep inside
If you wanna break free, you gotta drop your pride.
(Chorus - Duet)
(Energy builds, Country Rock feel)
'Cause true deliverance, it ain't a thing you just go and do
It's the wild surrender of letting go of you
It’s leaning on a trust that's been years in the making
It's the final chapter, the ground is surely shaking
Drop that heavy load, the one you never had to bear
Your time is closing, a new path is right there
You gotta shift your focus, son, from doer to a guide
If you want to move the mountain, you just gotta step aside.
(Verse 2 - Male)
(Reflective)
I’ve been trying to use the spirit like a tool
Trying to command when I should follow the rule
Thought I had the authority to make the demons flee
But I was blinded by the lie that it was up to me
I gotta see the truth, that all authority's in You
And the only thing I'm called to be is son, honest and true.
(Pre-Chorus - Female)
(Comforting)
Yeah, you gotta cling to the Father, believe what is real
That He can be trusted with everything you feel
In the good times and the bad, He’s the strength that will stand firm
You're on the precipice now, it's time for you to learn.
(Chorus - Duet)
(High energy)
'Cause true deliverance, it ain't a thing you just go and do
It's the wild surrender of letting go of you
It’s leaning on a trust that's been years in the making
It's the final chapter, the ground is surely shaking
Drop that heavy load, the one you never had to bear
Your time is closing, a new path is right there
You gotta shift your focus, son, from doer to a guide
If you want to move the mountain, you just gotta step aside.
(Bridge - Male & Female, alternating lines)
(Male) I thought my striving was the price I had to pay
(Female) But the freedom you're seeking is a choice you make today
(Male) I'm dropping the rope, the fight is over now
(Female) The harvest you dreamed of begins right here, somehow
(Duet) Just give up the blueprint and step into the flow.
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus - Duet, most powerful delivery)
'Cause true deliverance, it ain't a thing you just go and do
It's the wild surrender of letting go of you
It’s leaning on a trust that's been years in the making
It's the final chapter, the ground is surely shaking
Drop that heavy load, the one you never had to bear
Your time is closing, a new path is right there
You gotta shift your focus, son, from doer to a guide. If you want to move the mountain, you just gotta step aside!
