Take This From Me

With sincere heart, I come to you each day

Determined in thought, to surrender to you way

But I often get confused between your perfect will and mine

So I give then take it back, it seems to happen every time ...

Chorus

Take this from me, for I am weak here in your sight

Place your yoke upon me, for your burden is light

I’ve tried and tried yet fail to let it go and let it be

Jesus, I just need for you to take this … Take this from me.

Holding on, for fear of letting go

Still I hold on, I don’t want to lose control

But I’m desperate for your help, I need to trust this to your care

Remove the weight and burden of this yoke I choose to bear

Repeat chorus ...

Bridge

Let go and let love … Give my burdens unto you

Let go and let love … Is what I long to do

Yes, let go and let love … Give my burdens unto you

Let go and let love … Is what I long to do … So,

Repeat chorus twice ...

Take this from me … Take this from me … Take this from me.
