This song has become my theme song for going to Africa. Thanks to my aunt Jill who brought it to my attention how much this song speaks to me & my situation right now. This song is the first single from Grey Holiday (also happens to be my sweet boyfriend's band). Letting go is hard to do. There is so much I am going to miss.
"LET GO"
by GREY HOLIDAY
i've been holding on to things like dreams that never seem to die.
and i'm not so strong to lay them down and say my goodbye's.
how do you say goodbye?
if there's a remedy,
a break from all my vanity,
then i'm gonna need your help.
if there's hope for me,
pull me down to my knees,
where i'm begging for your help,
to let go!
it's so unnatural to let all that i've planned just slip away.
but i would be a fool to tighten up my hands and be afraid.
what i need is faith.
if there's a remedy,
a break from all my vanity,
then i'm gonna need your help.
if there's hope for me,
pull me down to my knees,
where i'm begging for your help,
to let go!
i'm walking right up to the edge,
i'm bringing everything that's left of me.
i'll throw myself into your love,
you'll be the one to lift me up again,
as i let go.
if there's a remedy,
a break from all my vanity,
then i'm gonna need your help.
if there's hope for me,
pull me down to my knees,
where i'm begging for your help,
to let go!
almost seems like God knew when Matt penned this song that you would be going to Africa and wanted to encourage you to 'let go' and let Him take care of you......
ReplyDeleteanyway, its not good bye. just, 'see you in a few months'. what a great adventure that will change your life forever!

enjoy your adventure with God in the lead.
He's completely able to take care of you when you 'let go'.
