Letting Go

My heart is breaking
as I turn and walk away from him
How I want to run back
and tell him I didn't mean it

My soul cries out "Don't leave!"
and I don't want to...
I swear I don't
But what choice do I have?

If my ultimate desire is to please God
I cannot look back
I need to keep moving forward
sprinting forward toward Christ

We both taught and challenged another
God used that time, but I need to move on
It's said that some leave footprints in our lives
now footprints are all that remain

I will not be able to see all He's planning
So why strain myself in trying to do so?
He's promised that all things work together for good
and He does not lie, nor will He ever.

I hope one day he will turn back
back to his first Love
The One who says that nothing
absolutely nothing can take us from His Father's grasp

Until then I will leave him
and entrust him to my Father
He who loves him even more than I...
In Him will I put my confidence

There is nothing I can do
If the power of human love
could change things
it already would have

Keep him safe please Father
It's all that I ask
I'm letting to of him, help me
Might I always remember he's in your hands
