We get caught up in the things we like
More new clothing or a motorbike
We just have to have it for our own
Do we see how selfish we have grown?
And the beauty we manipulate
Won't survive attempts to dominate
Short term pleasure that an object brings
Shows the limits of created things
Let go of selfishness and greed
God will supply the things we need
All that we own will fade away
God has a plan for us today
Let go of things that will not last
We need to open up our hearts
Things are for sharing, they won't stay
Let go and let God show the way
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Here's a thought that we could contemplate
Scared of emptiness we compensate
Fill the hole inside with something new
Block the space the Spirit could flow through
With each other we try to compete
Don't see God in everyone we meet
Emptiness could let the Spirit in
Open hearts can turn away from sin
Let go of selfishness and greed
God will supply the things we need
All that we own will fade away
God has a plan for us today
Let go of things that will not last
We need to open up our hearts
Things are for sharing, they won't stay
Let go and let God show the way
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Lord, set our hearts and spirits free
Let's live and love comunally
Make a commitment here today
Let go and let God show the way
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
Let go and let God
