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
