Teach me Lord to Let
by Jerry Johnson
Let love be genuine. Romans 12: 9 (ESV)
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus Philippians 2:5 (KJV)
Lord, teach me what it means to “let!”
What it means to allow what’s inside to get
To the surface for others to see…
To see the love You give so free
By Your Spirit living in me.
Teach me what it means to “let!”
Without the legalistic strain and sweat,
What it means to allow Thy light to shine;
May it glow, this little Light of mine,
Not for my glory, for all is Thine!
Teach me what it means to “let!”
Free to release Your selfless mindset
Over my thoughts to rule and reign
That the humble Cross I might gain
Never minding the sorrow or the pain.
Teach me, Lord, to Let!
