Storing up temporal treasures Holding them as tight as we can Only gives us passing pleasures Then they slip through our hands Hanging on to worldly deceptions The only ones we fool are ourselves When we've given up hope and we're in too deep There's only one thing that will help Let go and let God Let Him have His way With your life every day Let go, let God You can try on your own But you'll find that there's no other way Letting go means letting the Father Make us what He wants us to be More like the Son that He sent us So that we could all see That His love for us is eternal And by giving up control, we will find That we will gain more than we'll ever lose If we constantly keep in mind To let go and let God Let Him have His way With your life every day Let go, let God You can try on your own But you'll find that there's no other way It's okay to feel afraid But don't let that stand in your way Let go and let God Let Him have His way With your life today Let go, let God You can try on your own But you'll find that there's no other way
