I’m tired from all I’ve held onto
Weighed down by all that isn’t true
I’m bound by my failure
I’m weak from all I’ve tried to be
So far from ever being worthy
I’m going under
But you say
Let go

You buried my shame
You carried the weight of all my burdens
And all I’m holding now is You
You broke every chain
You lifted the weight of all my burdens
And all I’m holding now is You

If my world crashes to the sea
You’re still everything I need
Oh God, help me to believe
When You say
Let go

You buried my shame
You carried the weight of all my burdens
And all I’m holding now is You
You broke every chain
You lifted the weight of all my burdens
And all I’m holding now is You

It’s You
We’re holding You
We’re lifting empty hands to You
And it’s You
We’re holding You
We’re lifting empty hands to You

You buried my shame
And carried the weight of all my burdens
And all I’m holding now is You
You broke every chain
You lifted the weight of all my burdens
And all I’m holding now is You

It’s You
We’re holding You
We’re lifting empty hands to You
And it’s You
We’re holding You
We’re lifting empty hands to You
To You

Behind the Song:
“People tend to cling to their burdens. They tend to cling to their past and if there’s a theme on this record it is ‘The old is gone. The new has come.’ When you let go of all your burdens, then all you’re left with is something that replaces those burdens. Fear isn’t something that you can just overcome. Fear is something that has to be replaced. It has to be replaced by something greater than fear, and that something greater than fear is love. Burdens are something that have to be replaced by overwhelming assurance that God is with you. So, the idea is that God lifted the weight of all my burdens and now all I have left is what has replaced those things, which is Him. You can’t just beat fear and put your burdens aside. It doesn’t work like that. Something has to replace that and if you’ll let Him God will replace it.” - Jason Roy
