LETTING GO
LORD,
PLEASE TEACH ME TO LET GO.
MY CHILDREN ARE GROWING UP;
THEY WANT TO LEAD THEIR OWN LIVES,
BUT LETTING GO IS SO VERY HARD.....
LORD,
HELP ME HOLD MY FAMILY
IN THE PALM OF MY HAND,
NOT IN THE CLUTCH OF MY FIST.
MAKE ME TOUCH
TENDER AND GENTLE,
NOT GRASPING OR POSSESSIVE.
LORD,
TEACH ME TO ACCEPT
THEIR INDEPENDENCE,
AND TO REALIZE
THIS IS A NEW STEP IN LIFE.
I DON'T FEEL AT EASE WITH IT YET,
BUT WITH YOUR HELP, LORD,
I CAN MAKE IT
THE MOST WONDERFUL STEP OF ALL.
