Take My Love
Surrendering Love: An Ode to Letting Go
Lyrics
Lord, I'm giving all I am with everything I am
Expressing complete dedication to the Lord, giving everything that the person is.
Holy and annointed one, to You I lift my hands
Acknowledging the holiness and anointing of God, lifting hands in worship and surrender.
I surrender all I have
Reaffirming the surrender of all possessions and aspects of life to God.
Take my love away, take my love away, take my love away
Expressing a willingness to let go of personal love for a higher purpose.
Oh Lord, I've given it my best to take my love away
Despite efforts, acknowledging a struggle to fully let go of personal love.
If I could run around the world to fan the fire in me
Desiring to intensify one's commitment, even if it means going to great lengths.
If only I could swim the ocean wide to take my lve away
Expressing a willingness to go to extremes, using imagery of running and swimming.
From the world and me
Desiring to detach personal love from worldly influences and self.
Take my love away, take my love away, take my love away
Reiterating the plea for God to take away personal love.
Oh Lord, i've given it my best to take my love away
Despite efforts, expressing the difficulty in fully surrendering personal love.
I think I read I cannot love the world and love You
Reflecting on the challenge of simultaneously loving the world and God.
Take my love and plant it deep where life is found in You
Asking God to take the surrendered love and nurture it where true life is found in Him.
Plant it in the heart of Thee, I'm tired of trying to believe
Requesting God to plant love in the heart, expressing weariness in trying to believe.
I've worn out all my strategy
Conveying exhaustion from relying on personal strategies and efforts.
There's nothing I can do oh Lord to...
Expressing helplessness before God, acknowledging the inability to do anything.
Take my love away, take my love away, take my love away
Repeating the plea for God to take away personal love, acknowledging the ongoing struggle.
Oh Lord, i've given it my best to take my love away
Despite best efforts, admitting the difficulty in fully surrendering personal love.
Take my love away, take my love away, take my love away
Reiterating the plea for God to take away personal love, expressing persistence in surrendering.
Oh Lord, i've given it my best to take my love away
Despite sincere efforts, acknowledging the ongoing challenge of surrendering personal love.
