I Can Let it Go

I'm so foolish to believe that I can escape Your love. For my feet were close to slipping, You spoke to my heart in time. You have promised, so I do believe. You won't forget this wandering child.
-So Close by Bethany Dillon

The Lord almost always speaks to my heart through songs. He knows how much songs and words mean to me so I just love that He does that. Tonight I found this song by a singer/songwriter that I had listened to back around Christmas. Her name is Audrey Assad. I hadn't listened to her in a while but here's what happened. I was singing the Bethany Dillon song "So Close" over and over today. Singing the line, "You have promised, so I do believe, you won't forget this wandering child." I wanted to post a clip here and I was looking at it on youtube when I saw "Everything is Yours" by Audrey to the side. I was excited cuz like I said, I had listened to her before. Well, this song was meant for me tonight. Basically, I needed to know that I can give things over to God because He is faithful to take care of them. The lyrics read, "If everything is Yours, I can let it go because it was never mine to hold." Why do I constantly try to figure things out? Why do I work at juggling things that aren't even mine? Does His Word not say, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God"?

Tonight the Lord said, "Angela, just put it down. It's all mine anyway, it's not for you to worry about."


When all the world is under fire
the skies are threatening to thunder and rain
and I am overcome by fears that I can't see

If everything is Yours
if everything is yours
if everything is yours
i can let it go, it was never mine to hold
