Letting Go
Embracing Emptiness: Manuel Bless's Journey of Liberation
Lyrics
I'm letting go, so I can have empty hands
I am releasing my grip, allowing things to slip away, so I can experience having nothing in my hands
It must be so, should I reach my promised land
This is a necessary step for me to reach the destination or goal I have been promised
Seeing I'm surrounded by a cloud of saints
Observing that I am surrounded by a group of virtuous individuals
I must shed off dead weights, cast off all restraints
I need to let go of burdens and constraints that are no longer beneficial, freeing myself from unnecessary hindrances
So I'm letting go, so I can have empty hands
Reiterating the act of releasing, emphasizing the desire for empty hands
No turning back
Emphasizing a firm commitment to the decision with repeated expressions of no turning back
No turning back
-No turning back
-No turning back
-Away with lentils, leave me with my, my birthright
Rejecting the idea of accepting something less valuable (clay) in exchange for the true worth (gold)
Would you take clay instead of gold, would it be right
Pondering the appropriateness of such a trade
And seeing I'm surrounded by a cloud of saints
Reiterating the need to let go of burdens and constraints due to the presence of virtuous individuals
I must shed off dead weights, cast off all restraints
-No turning back
Repeating the commitment to no turning back
No turning back
-No turning back
-No turning back
-Oh my Lord, no turning back
Expressing devotion and determination with references to Jesus and Lord, reiterating no turning back
No, no turning back
-Oh Jesus, no turning back
-No turning back
-No turning back
Continuing the commitment to not turning back
Lord, I lay it all down to pursue golden crowns
Surrendering everything to pursue spiritual rewards symbolized by golden crowns
Yes I do, yes I do
Affirming the commitment to laying everything down
It is a high calling, high price, so no dulling
Highlighting the challenges and costs associated with the spiritual pursuit, emphasizing a focused and determined approach
One thing I do, thing I do
-Lord, I lay it all down to pursue golden crowns
Repeating the themes of surrender, high calling, and resolute commitment
Yes I do, yes I do
-It is a high calling, high price, so no dulling
-One thing I do, thing I do
-No turning back
Emphasizing again the unwavering decision to not turn back, with references to the world behind and the cross ahead
Oh, no turning back
-World behind me, cross before me, no
-Yeah, no turning back
-No turning, turning, no turning back
-No turning back, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Repeating the declaration of not turning back with emphasis
Father I'm coming where you are, no turning back, oh no
Expressing the intention to approach the divine presence without turning back
Oh, no turning back, oh yeah
Reiterating the resolution to not turn back
Oh, no turning back
-No turning back, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Concluding with a firm declaration of not turning back
