What to do and where to go
In our lives, how can we know
What to do?  My spirit is frightened.
When I let my heartbeat slow,
May Another Spirit flow,
And cause my load to lighten.
   Let it go, let it be,
   From our fear, Lord, set us free,
   And show us Your love beyond all measure.
   Let it go, let it be,
   Shine Your Light, that we may see,
   To know Jesus as our only treasure.


Free to do just what I would,
Far too often, not the good,
And wrong in my heart discover.
But I know if I but call,
Guiding hands will catch my fall,
And point me the way to recover:
   Let it go, let it be,
   From our sin, Lord, set us free,
   And show us Your love beyond all measure.
   Let it go, let it be,
   Shine Your Light, that we may see,
   To know Jesus as our only treasure.


Once a man upon a tree
Gave His life for you and me
For nothing else was worth the living,
All we do and all we have,
All our pride and all our craft,
Will now or soon be called for the giving.
   Let it go, let it be,
   From all else, Lord, set us free,
   And show us Your love beyond all measure.
   Let it go, let it be,
   Shine Your Light, that we may see,
   To know Jesus as our only treasure.
