I remember the first time I heard this song I was overcome with the power of the words. The challenges we all face are part of this earthly existence. The more we resist and fight the harder it gets. When we finally lay it all down, surrender showing we believe, and letting go we find our Savior has been holding us all along. Take time to enjoy this beautiful song and contemplate the words. You might find you are one of the ones that has slipped up and lost your way. But never forget who you are.
Come now cast your burdens far away
We’ve all slipped up sometimes and lost our way
And I have been there and felt weighed down by a heavy heart
Just don’t forget, don’t forget who you are
I can tell you’re drowning in the dark
I see so much strength within your heart
Don’t try and hide your light
You were born for greater things
I believe we all have wings
The weight of the world makes it hard to breathe
But lay it down and let your heart be free
What if it’s in laying it all down that we finally receive
What if it’s by surrendering that we show that we believe
What if it’s in letting go that we’re really holding on
And that we finally see that He’s been there holding us all along
I know that it’s hard to let go
To feel like you’ve lost all control
Don’t be afraid to try
Why not take a leap of faith
Close your eyes and trust in grace
‘Cause what if it’s in laying it all down that we finally receive
What if it’s by surrendering that we show that we believe
What if it’s in letting go that we’re really holding on
And that we finally see that He’s been there holding us all along
What if it’s in laying it all down that we finally receive
What if it’s by surrendering that we show that we believe
What if it’s in letting go that we’re really holding on
And that we finally see that He’s been there holding us all along
