I wish I can tell You just what I want

And You give it to me just like that

The truth of the matter, what I want just might hurt me

And You won't let me go out like that

You know my end before my beginning

Calculated blessings down to the penny

So, I'll cry 'til You tell me, "Let it go, let it be."

'Cause oh, Lord, Lord, Your will is what's best for me

No rubies, and no diamonds

No silver, oh, no pearls

There are some lessons that I had to learn

That I will not trade in for this world

You told me that my trials

Only come to make me strong

And with this You promised

You promised never to leave me alone

So, I'll cry (so, I'll cry 'til You tell me)

To let it go (let it go, let it be), let it go, let it be

'Cause oh, Lord (oh, Lord, Your will is what's best for me)

Your word is true (your word is true)

And it will last (and it will last)

You will guide the future (you will guide the future)

Ooh-whoa, as You have (as You have the past)

There are times that I cannot see

But I know, that I know, that I know it's so

You love me more

You love me more than I'll ever know

So, I'll cry 'til You tell me

Let it go (let it go, let it be), let it go, let it be

'Cause oh, Lord (oh, Lord, Your will) your will, Your will (is what's best for me), yes it is

Your word is true (your word is true)

Good God Almighty, and it's gonna last (and it will last)

You gonna guide our own future (you will guide the future)

Yes You will, as You have (as You have the past), oh, yeah

You told me that my trials

They only come to make me strong

And with this You promised

My Lord, never to leave me alone

(So, I'll cry 'til You tell me) I'm gonna cry 'til You tell me

(Let it go, let it be) let it go, let it go

'Cause oh, Lord (oh, Lord), I said, oh, Lord

(Your will) I cannot see it, but Your will (Is what's best for me)

Your will, Your will (is what's best for me)

Your word is true (your word is true)

Yes, it is, and it's gonna last (and it will last)

You will guide the future (you will guide the future)

Just as You have the past (as You have the past), hey

One of these old days

I'm gonna have just what I want

Because I'm gonna trust You every step of the way

And You're gonna lead me all the way home

So, I'll cry (so, I'll cry 'til You tell me), so, I'll cry 'til You tell me

(Let it go, let it be) let it go

'Cause, if I let it go on, Your will, Your will (oh, Lord, Your will), yes, it is

(Is what's best for me) is what's best for me, hey, halleluiah
