Sometimes you need to let go

Grey Holiday - Let Go
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 goodbyes
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 is 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

I’m walking right up to the edge
I’m bringing everything that’s left of me
I throw my self into Your love
You’ll be the one to lift me up again
As I let go

I love this song. I love this band.

Have you ever notices how often we get so involved with this life of ours, that we forget where our focus should remain. - The following auote is from Matthew Minor, the lead singer for Grey Holiday, about where this song came from. -

“Let Go” spawned directly from a struggle I was having with songwriting. I had just begun to co-write with some folks in Nashville and not many of my sessions had been very productive – all because of me. I desperately wanted to keep my music the way I wanted it. I was willing to ignore God’s inspiration if it meant I had control. So, Jason Ingram (producer and co-writer of The Glorious Revolution) and I were talking this through and the song “Let Go” was born from our conversation. I realized that I would never be able to follow God’s path if I continued to hold so tightly to my selfish desires. Every once in a while, songs can become therapy – this is one of them.'

I think this song is a wakeup call to us, that it is time to refocus on the only thing that we need.

Let this song be your therapy for the day.
