You've Gotta Let Go

Here's a song that I wrote quite a while back. When the trials come and we don't understand, we must trust in the Lord.

You've Gotta Let Go

Sometimes no one's to blame
When things don't go, the way you'd planned.
Like Joseph you've been thrown, into a pit,
By your own brothers hands.
As Job of old you curse the day that you were born.
On the ash heap you lie battle scarred, weary and worn.
And there is no where that you can to run to.
And no where that you can hide.
And it seems that there is no escaping, these trials you face in life.

That's when you've gotta let go,
So He can reveal His plan.
You've gotta let go,
No matter where you're gonna land.
You've gotta let go
Knowing that your Redeemer Lives!
And when you've reached the end of your rope.
You've gotta let go.

It's the Greatest Battle Ever Fought.
And the battle sight is the mind.
If you will take Him At His Word.
He will prove It, every time.

So, you let go.
And He reveals His plan.
Then you let go.
You fall into the palm of His Hand.
When you let go.
There's one set of foot prints in the sand.
When you let go of that rope.
Jesus takes hold.

Now, we have a law, the law of the Life in us. We don't... Only thing you have to do... You're made, and borned, and placed here in the Body of Christ as sons and daughters of God. You don't have to "knuck" down to the devil. We've got a law; that's the law of the Holy Spirit. The only thing you know--have to do, is know how to let go and let God. You keep fighting at it (See?), and it won't never work. When you let go and let God, that's all... See?
If the fish said, "Wait, I'll catch my breath real good; I'll breathe up a little oxygen in me, and I'll see if I can go down." No, he does that, he will burst open. See?
The bird says, "I'll see how fast I can run down here, and maybe I'll take off." No, he won't do it; he will fall down. See? He's got to know how to control--how that law can control him.
And the same way it is with us, it isn't what we fight, and pull, and--and hurry, and, "Oh, if I don't get this; if I don't get that"; that's not it; it's to know that the law of Life is in you. And you just let go and let God. Then He takes you to your healing, takes you to the baptism of the Spirit, or anything that He's promised. Any claim that He's given is yours, and by letting go and letting God...
