Shedding Skin

I'm shedding skin
I'm laying down these old rags I've been wearing
I'm asking you to clothe me again
Here's my heart
Here's my life
Come on in
I'm shedding skin
Because without a death there can be no resurrection
And the life I want is not one of my making
It is found as I give myself away
Lord help me to let go of everything I cannot keep
All the poison drips of disappointment, and jealousy
As I crave a life that I want but that was never meant for me
I just want to live in your perfect peace
I just want what you have for me
So I'm shedding skin
I don't want ghosts in this house
So help me let go of the past
Help me to unlock the grip that has kept them in
So they can fly away
And if I can't learn to let go
There's so many things you can't show me
So I'm not afraid for the old to break to make way for the new
I'm shedding skin
I let down the fragile edges of my ego
I receive the wholeness only you can give
Here's my heart, here's my life come on in
