Leave It All Behind

This time,
I'm gonna leave it behind
this baggage I've carried so long,
I'm dropping it off,
to You,
This time,
I really mean it,
gonna turn it all around
clean the pollution once infiltrating my heart
filtered the sin
and now the air is so clear
I breathe it in, take You in
and know that its better now

This bridge, I'm burning,
desire, I’m yearning for Your love and grace so indescribable
no more returning,
lit that match in my heart,
to burn the bridge to this sin
Something I should have done right from the start,
cut off all the routes to my heart,
not going back to the things that once held me down
not wasting my time with the things that hurt me
because God has a different plan for me

This liberation, it washes me spotless
a cleanliness I can only feel from You
the sweet smell of victory is in the air
find comfort in the love that you share
how could you humble yourself to care, about me?
wrapped your arms around me
and showed me my faults
and guided me through and through
and I want to give my life to You

I used to enclose myself in a haven of false premises
now I’ve left it and I’m running towards You
and I’m not about to turn around
not when I’ve hurt myself so many times before
you’d think I’d have learned my lesson long ago
that only goes to show
how sin grips you with an iron fist of dictatorship
makes you feel like you have no choice
when you do
God is my choice
and forever He will be....
