Lyrics

There were footprints in the sand
—The tide was washin’ away
A message - bottled - in her hand
She wrote it yesterday
All the doubt, all the heartache, all the fears…
As she crammed it in that bottle, her eyes filled with tears…

I’m ready to
Let go
‘Cuz I know
I can’t go on livin’ this way,
God, I need You
To get through
‘Cuz only You know the way
And I can’t
Forget
What the past has done to me, ohh
I’m ready to let go…

Until twilight there she stood,
And at the closin’ of the day
She let it slip from her hand
Then watched it float away
“Why, my God, do I feel so alone?
And why did You leave me?
And Your footprints disappearin’? And You always were with me
‘Til the worst times of my life,
When I most needed You??”

I’m ready to
Let go
‘Cuz I know
I can’t go on livin’ this way,
I need You
To get through
‘Cuz only You know the way
And I can’t
Forget
What the past has done to me, ohh
I’m ready to let go…

As she sat there on the seashore
She saw Someone comin’ towards her
Soft as the Moon
Strong as the Daybreak
and He said, “Take my Hand,
You’ll understand someday—
This is all My plan for you
Another chance…
But first
I want you to
Let go
‘Cuz I know
You can’t go on livin’ this way
What hurts you hurts Me
I’ve got you in My Arms, and there you’ll stay
My love, I’ve carried you
Never left you every step through all your pain, but
I want you to let go…

Oh, I want you to let go…
Whatever you’re holdin’ back,
Hand to Me and let go…”

I’m ready to
Let go
Rest here
As You carry me down the shore
