lyrics

Every weight rolls off my shoulders
When I let go and love takes over
I remember a time when my heart was colder
But You won’t quench the wick that smolders
And all of Your heart’s desires
Are the fuel that feeds this fire
Now every weight rolls off my shoulders
When I let go and love takes over

I have no memory before today
Because my life has passed away
The man I was before the tide
Washed me to the other side
And pulled out in the undertow all the world I used to know
And what remains on this new shore?
This rapturous love of Yours

My heart was empty yet heavy as stone
I was an island I was all alone
My life was fading and all of my bones groaned
I was frozen before You came along
Now it is running up & down my spine
I’m discontent with all that I can’t describe
It’s like I’m breathing for the first time
Like what was broken suddenly came alive

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder
But I have searched the whole world over
Yes I have searched and I can’t find
Another One that’s so sublime
You’re taking over all of me
Still I have never felt so free
Now every weight rolls off my shoulders
When I let go and love takes over
