Shedding Skin

Verse 1

I’m shedding skin
I’m laying down these old rags I’ve been wearing
I’m asking You to clothe me again
Here’s my heart, here’s my life, come on in

Verse 2

I’m shedding skin
Because without a death there can be no resurrection
And the life I want is not one of my making
It is found as I give myself away

Chorus

Lord, help me to let go of ev'rything I cannot keep
All the poison drips of disappointment, and jealousy
As I crave a life that I want but that was never meant for me
I just want to live in Your perfect peace
I just want what You have for me, so I’m shedding skin

Bridge

I don’t want ghosts in this house
So help me let go of the past
Help me to unlock the grip that has kept them in
So they can fly away
If I can’t learn to let go
There’s so many things You can’t show me
So I’m not afraid for the old to break to make way for the new

Verse 3

I’m shedding skin
I let down the fragile edges of my ego
I receive the wholeness only You can give
Here’s my heart, here’s my life, come on in
