Let Go and Let God

I had years fighting against you trying to do it on my own
Until like Paul in His war I had my Damascus Road
When you washed away my will, poured myself out of my cup
Opened my eyes and my ears, gave me a heart full of your love
Even though I turned my back on you and filled my life with doubt
Faithfully you knocked on the door, never quit calling me out
From the life of death I chose the world over Elohim
By trusting in myself and chasing my own dreams
Either out running the streets or doing time in a prison system
Every time you sent a word I just acted like I missed it
Turned to walk the other way, like Your Word didn't mean a thing
Didn't care what You had to say, my ways ruled by the enemy
Deaf and blind to the truth, walking like the living dead
Empty and lonely inside, just wanting it to end
My flesh fighting against you and battling my soul
My spirit wanted Your Will, as a man I wanted control

I had years fighting against You trying to do it on my own
Let go and let God, Let go and let God
Is what my heart said while I chased earthly lies
Giving into temptation, the creation idolized
I had years fighting against You trying to do it on my own
Let Go and let God, let go and let God
It's what I had to do when He opened my eyes
Created me anew, granted me true life

Trying to drink away the pain, fill all emptiness with money
Drugs, sex and a gang; craving anything to love me
Homeboys from the hood or females just as lost
Doing everything we could, never realizing the cost
That we place against our souls as we do all of this dirt
Our lives filled with holes where we try to cram all the hurt
(Why?) In hopes of hiding from Him, but the truth reflects in mirrors
And we can't keep on running cause we can't outpace our fears
We have to face ourselves and the Image in which we're made
Nothing from this world helps when it's true Grace that we crave
I try to do it myself, my heart convicts me as a liar
Cause no earthly wealth provides like Jahova Jirah
A truth that I deny and in myself I place my trust
While chasing fleshy lies giving into all my lusts
A man with my own dreams, millions or a bloody end
The Plan was different for me, I had a journey to begin

I had years fighting against You trying to do it on my own
Let go and let God, Let go and let God
Is what my heart said while I chased earthly lies
Giving into temptation, the creation idolized
I had years fighting against You trying to do it on my own
Let Go and let God, let go and let God
It's what I had to do when He opened my eyes
Created me anew, granted me true life

Sentenced to 20 years in 1998
Only 19 years old labeled property of the state
Felt like nothing to lose, believing HaSatan
The father of deceit and hate into his accusations I was drawn
Then The Father pulled me out, met me where I was
Left no room for doubt that she loves His lost sons
Still avoiding sin, while fighting temptation
Only one perfect man, we try to imulate Him
I know it's not easy, the world wants us to fail
Need to Malakim, our testimony to tell
Not only in words but the actions that we take
Plant many seeds, eternal life is at stake
In the pen or free, called to live for the King
And others, not just me; for Him so everything
So His Name be exalted in every corner of the earth
No more fear of physical death after our spiritual birth

I had years fighting against You trying to do it on my own
Let go and let God, Let go and let God
Is what my heart said while I chased earthly lies
Giving into temptation, the creation idolized
I had years fighting against You trying to do it on my own
Let Go and let God, let go and let God
It's what I had to do when He opened my eyes
Created me anew, granted me true life
