Even now your eyes are courting sleep

I'll stay by your side as I have always been

Sleep tonight, may your dreams reveal my love for you

Beyond what I must do, do you know my plans for you



To separate myself from where my treasure lies

Then naked in this cold and lonely unforgiving life

Be stripped away of all delusions of the man I'd like to be at the moment

I am broken parts sure of only weaknesses with nothing left to show

No illusions left to hide behind

Burning clean has been both agony and absolute release

Can I hope to pass this test, is my destiny the wilderness



The hardest part of letting go

Is trusting you with everything

In laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am

Father what is man that You are mindful of him



Can I pass this test, is my destiny this wilderness



To stand alone against a life of wretchedness

Impossible to hope and so I plead

Your graciousness show me your glory

May my life reflect your presence

And never again find myself in anything less



The hardest part of letting go

Is trusting you with everything

In laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am



Father what is man that You are mindful of him
