John Van Deusen Help Me Let Go Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything is burning
Violent winds are turning
These safety nets can't hold the weight of the world
So I look for Your face
All I see are idols encased
Bogged down and drowning in a cheap surrender

[Chorus]
So help me let go
And fall into Your arms
I need to know that You are here amidst the storm
So help me let go
And fall into Your arms
I need to know that You are here and I can't lose Your love
[Verse 2]
Oh sons and daughters
Bowed down as cannon fodder
This isn't worship
It's ego ammunition So I run for meaning
Tune for the Love-Light gleaming
I need еxperiential crucifixion

[Chorus]
So help mе let go
And fall into Your arms
I need to know that You are here amidst the storm
So help me let go
And fall into Your arms
I need to know that You are here and I can't lose Your love

[Verse 3]
Offering of contempt
Do I believe or fear it?
Can't deny I often feel the priestly jester
I need an earthquake
Every faculty awake
Help me return to that room of unknowing

So help me let go…
