Blessed is He

The hardest part of holding on

is letting go


and I guess it's time to let go

of all those

things


but just know

that even though

i might walk away


I'll never be far

I'll never give up

I'll never stop loving you


life is such a mystery

who knows

what's wrong

or right


only our great king

could knows such things


I'm just a simple creature

and my brain

tries so hard to make

sense of things


i can't possibly know

all these things

so i give it all to

you


I cast it all on you

because I know you love me

you never gave up on me


and when I fell down

to the ground and asked

for your hand

for your love

for your strength


I felt you right beside me

reaching out

picking me up

embracing with open arms


saying,

"welcome home my son"


and from that moment

I'll never look back


so I'll be whatever it is that

you

want me to be


I won't forget

what you did for

me


and so I know

all these things

are in your hands


my heart

my love

my soul


I give it to you first

so that you may

guide me


my heart explodes with your

love


I'm so on fire


you said

be hot or cold

and least of all

lukewarm


and I'm burning up

inside


and I just want to

share it wit those

souls

I left behind


I know you've

forgiven

me


but I seek

redemption

my king


but I won't forget

that I must

seek your kingdom before

all things


but even thought

I'm letting go

I'll never give up


and just maybe

one day

they may see

how your love

radiates

through me


I'll be your humble servant

I'll wash your feet

I'll do whatever it is

you ask of me


I'll testify

before whoever

will listen to me

speak


I'll give you

all the glory

all the praise


for you have

saved and forgiven

me


and so I must

do whatever it is

you

ask of me


I'll never forget

that night

I said

your prayer

and

you heard

my cries


in your grace

you washed

down upon me


and the tears

just poured out

of me


like a faucet

a river

a creek

but more like a

sea


I realized that man

the man I was


died that

night


and so I was

re born

changed and transformed


I'll be the man

you

see me as


I'm so

blessed

that I can see

so clearly

now


perceptions

changed


how could

I know it would be so

simple

that my life

would be so

simple


and all the

pains

burned out of my

heart


and

replaced by your

love


I'll walk with you

everyday


and I'll never

look back


for you will make a way

when there is

no way


and i'll put all my

faith

in you


my Lord

my King

my Savior


for I'll be

whatever it is

you

want me to be


break me father

so you can

use me


I'll give you

everything


all of

me


I'll wash your

feet


thank you

father

for not ever

giving up on

me....
