Chorus / Description :
Holding things close
Letting things go
What should we cling to
It's so hard to know
Hold to the love then the hope
Because everything else is all wrong
We keep holding things close
And letting things go
She left like a wind
Drove off in her car
They stood in the driveway
Under the star
Somewhere they knew
This must be more than goodbye
His debt brought me here
They told me one day
Would not have been long
Had He not passed away
How could I know that
This was the start of my life
Holding things close
Letting things go
What should we cling to
It's so hard to know
Hold to the love then the hope
Because everything else is all wrong
We keep holding things close
And letting things go
Run by the fakes and the hypocrites prank
He ran from the church didn't look back for miles
Then he me met the one that showed him
That Jesus was real
Holding things close
Letting things go
What should we cling to
It's so hard to know
Hold to the love then the hope
Because everything else is all wrong
We keep holding things close
And letting things go
Releasing the anger
Releasing the fear
Releasing the loved ones
Who moved who moved on from here
Holding to Jesus
And his gentle face
Holding the memories
Holding the grace
Holding things close
Letting things go
What should we cling to
It's so hard to know
Hold to the love then the hope
Because everything else is all wrong
We keep holding things close
And letting things go
We keep holding things close
And letting things go
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."
Jim Elliot
Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: Keep her; for she is thy life.
For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.
