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
