I brought my broken dreams to God because he was my friend

Then instead of leaving him in peace to work alone

I hung around and tried to help in the ways that were my own

Then I took them back and cried God why are you so slow

He said my child what could I do you’d never let it go

Chorus:

Let it go and let God take control

Let it go and he’ll bare your heavy load

But if you think that there’s no hope there’s something you should know

That he can mend your broken heart but you’ve got to let it go

Every child needs nothing less than unconditional love

And even though we fall sometimes he’s there to pick us up

And if you think you’re the only one who’s ever felt this low

It’s time to get down on your knees you’ve got to let it go

Chorus:

Let it go and let God take control…

If you think that there’s no hope there’s something you should know

That he can mend your broken heart but you’ve got to let it go
