From the recording On The Ground With You
Lyrics
My Father
I don’t want this
Every part of me wants to run
But here I am
On the ground with only You to hold me
If it is possible
let this pass from me
You know what this will cost
You know the love that binds me
And how I've failed in letting go
I don’t want to loosen my grip
On what has held me for so long
But I can feel it
You’re asking for all of me
Not just those easy to give
You gave Your Son
to be broken for love
To carry the weight of me
And here I am
holding on to what’s comfortable
Afraid to release it
when You’re asking me to trust
So if this is the road
then meet me in it
If this is the cost
then stay with me through it
Not my will
But Yours be done
Not my will
But I will stay
Even in the letting go
Even in the ache
I won’t turn away
Because love like Yours
was never meant to be held halfway
And if following You
means I lose what I only wanted
Then hold me
while I release it
My Father
if this cannot pass
unless I drink it
Your will be done
And I stay
