Music - I'm Letting Go by Francesca Battistelli

Just the other day I was talking with someone that has turned their life around and is walking with Christ in amazing ways.  However, they struggle with guilt from their life before coming to Christ and some of the decisions they made.  I heard this song just after having that conversation and I love how it talks about letting go of the past.

Personally, I have experienced what Francesca Battistelli talks about in this song with having my plans, dreams and destiny all figured out.  Then going through the process of surrendering all these things to God and having Him turn them all upside down.  I'm glad He did though as things have turned out MUCH better then if I had kept control.  It always works this way with God.  This song speaks to that journey I've gone through in my life.

Here is a video someone made for this song... the lyrics are below it.

My heart beats, standing on the edge
But my feet have finally left the ledge

Like an acrobat
There's no turning back

(Chorus)
I'm letting go
Of the life I planned for me
And my dreams
Losing control
Of my destiny
Feels like I'm falling and that's what it's like to believe
So I'm letting go

This is a giant leap of faith
Trusting and trying to embrace

The fear of the unknown
Beyond my comfort zone

(Chorus)

Giving in to your gravity
Knowing You are holding me
I'm not afraid

(Chorus)

Feels like I'm falling and that's what it's like to believe
Feels like I'm falling and this is the life for me

...Feels like I'm falling and that's what it's like to believe

So true and so sobering.
