This song has been tugging at the heartstrings for a while and has been in my head for about a week. I'll let the lyrics speak for itself:
I've been holding on so tight
Look at these knuckles they've gone white
From fighting for who I want to be
I'm just trying to find security
You say let it go
You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say you will be everything I need
You say if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soul
You say let it go
Well it's hard enough to hear
Harder still to move beyond this fear
We know there's nothing I can bring
So tell me what do you want from me?
You say let it go
You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say you will be everything I need
You say if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soul
You say let it go
What do I love what do I hate
What will I lose what will I gain
How do I save my soul?
What if I bend what if I break
What will it cost what will it take
For you to save my soul
You say let it go
You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say you will be everything I need
You say if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soul
You say let it go
Behind the Song (ala jesusfreakhideout.com):
“The Bible says some really strange things and one of those things is when Jesus basically appeals to the people and he says, ‘You don’t want to lose your life, do you? Well lose it and then you’ll find it.’ It’s a very strange sort of argument that Jesus makes, but ‘Let It Go’ is a song about struggling to let go of being the captain of my own ship, of my own faith, which I think we all struggle with. A line in the chorus says, ‘Life is waiting for the ones who lose control.’ It’s a call to say, ‘Man, if only I would really trust God, I would have far fewer aneurisms and stress than I put on myself.’” - Mike Donehey (Tenth Avenue North)
Read Matthew 8:18-22 and see if these words are similar. In my MacArthur Study Bible (NASB), the commentary for verse 22 states, "Let the world (spiritually dead) take care of mundane things." Powerful stuff in my eyes
