Letting It Go Lyrics By Joe Nester

The weight of the world feels like a
Weight in my soul that I carry around
Everywhere that I go
It’s hard to escape from the things we’ve been told
But don’t you believe all that glitters is gold
We’ve been trapped in a world that is lost in the dark
And I can’t understand
You can tell by the ways of the heart
They ain’t doing it for God, just do it for the ‘gram
Like the whole wide world fell asleep at the beach
With their heads in the sand
To tell them to wake up and repent
For the sins that were paid by the blood of the Lamb

I am a little bit hood, I’m a little bit rough
I’m a little outspoken, praise God
With the same two arms and the same two hands
And the EAS shoot dop
Now I get to live my life through Christ with my eyes wide open
Tell me how else can I get into your soul if you’ve never been broken

The weight of the world feels like a weight in our souls
That we carry around everywhere that we go
It’s hard to escape from the things we’ve been told
But don’t you believe all that glitters is gold

Now I know what it’s like when the walls close in
You’re feeling constricted when you can barely breathe
With the weight on your chest so heavy you can barely lift it
But I also know what it’s like when you give it to God
And that weight gets shifted
Then He breaks those chains and takes that shame away
Like it never existed

I still remember those days when I barely weighed like 100 lbs
I was still strung out singing songs in the halfway house
It was in that place where I learned to pray
Then the King came down and I saw His face
And I felt that grace when I was finally found

The weight of the world feels like a weight in our hearts
That we don’t want anymore so we’re letting it go
It’s hard to escape from the things we’ve been sold
But don’t you believe all that glitters is gold

The weight of the world feels like a weight in our souls
That we don’t want anymore so we’re letting it go
It’s hard to escape from the things we’ve been sold
But don’t you believe all that glitters is gold

All those unhealthy habits
All those addictions that we’ve been struggling with
All that anxiety racing around in our minds
All that heaviness and all that depression
That’s been weighing us down our whole lives
We’re letting it go

Father, Your word says that Your yoke is easy
And that Your burden is light
So we lay it all down at the foot of the cross
Declaring freedom in Jesus’ name

I’m letting it go
Letting it go
I’m letting it go
I’m letting it go
