TO LET IT GO AND BEGIN AGAIN

Was it your fault
Does it matter after all these years
When life has become fearful
When you can’t remember how to live

You hold to failure
Like it can be a friend
When God is trying to tell you
You got to let it go and begin again

The pain in your eyes
Seems dull yet alive
Memories can fool you
Into believing they live again

You hang onto the memory
The what ifs and maybes
When God is trying to teach you
How to live and trust again

Let down your armor
For it has rusted in your tears
Take a drink of living water
Bring life to these dry bones
Bathe in the light of hope
Get out of the shadow of shame

Can you let in God’s message
Of love and redemption
Can you believe in something other
Than the past that hangs on you
God is here beside you
To help you
Let it go and begin again
