Letting Go
The Intersection That Changes Everything
I’m letting go of pain
Releasing control of stories
I’ve kept in my mind
As evidence for another day
Another defense
Another fightI relinquish my right to fight
To be right
To prove my point or placeI leave it all behind
In Your hands
In Your love
In Your careTo be redeemed
To be rewritten
To be forgotten—except to celebrate
The me I am becomingNo more letting myself hold on
Stuffing
Sorting
Storing to remember again and againNo more rewinding
Looping
Unable to push STOPIt’s time to allow my spirit to soar
Above
Beyond
Free
Redeemed
NewI’m rising above muscle memory
And mind games
This battle on earthly fieldsI’m rising to sit with You
Where You’ve invited me
To become and to belongYour faithfulness, O God
Has given me faith to overcome
