Letting It Go

The weight of the world feels like a weight in my soul

That I carry around everywhere that I go

It's hard to escape from the things we've been told

But don't you believe all that glitters is gold

We've been trapped in a world that is lost in the dark

And I can't understand

You can tell by the ways of the heart they ain't doing it for God

They're just whipping the gram. Like the whole

Wide world fell asleep at the beach with their heads in the sand

So tell them all to wake up

And repent for the sins that were paid by the blood of the lamb

I am a little bit hood, I'm a little bit rough, I'm a little outspoken

Praise God with the same two arms

And the same two hands that I used to shoot open

Now I get to live my life through Christ with my eyes wide open

Tell me, how else can the light get into your soul

If you've never been broken?

The weight of the world feels like a weight in our souls

That we carry around everywhere that we go

It's hard to escape from the things we've been told

But don't you believe all that glitters is gold

Now I know what it's like when the mall's closing, you're feeling constricted

When you can barely breathe with the weight on your chest

So heavy you can barely lift it

But I also know what it's like when you give it to God

And that weight gets shifted

Then he breaks those pains and he takes that shame

All away like it never existed

I still remember those days when I barely weighed like a hundred pounds

I was still strong now, singing songs in a halfway house

It was in that place where I learned to pray

Then the king came down and I saw his face

And I felt that grace when I was finally found

The weight of the world feels like a weight in our souls

That we don't want anymore

So we're letting it go

It's hard to escape from the things we've been told

But don't you believe all that glitters is gold

The weight of the world feels like a weight in our souls

That we don't want anymore

So we're letting it go

It's hard to escape from the things we've been told

But don't you believe all that glitters is gold

All those unhealthy habits

All those addictions that we've been struggling with

All that anxiety racing around in our minds

All that heaviness and all that depression

That's been weighing us down our whole lives

We're letting it go

Father, your word says it

Your yoke is easy and that your burden is light

So we lay it all down at the foot of the cross

Declaring freedom in Jesus name

I'm letting it go

I'm letting it go

I'm letting it go

I'm letting it go
