Shedding Skin

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 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 Lord help me to let go of everything 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 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 And 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 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
