Why This Matters

One of my favorite things about “Holding Om (Praise God)” is that my 13-year-old song told me “Dad, that’s TOUGH” when he first hear it. The lyrics are a full surrender but I love that Alex can recognize toughness can 100% be embodied in laying every burden down and trusting the Lord with it.

Today, I’m in this exact spot…I’ve been leaning way too much on my own understanding. I’m carrying a very heavy load each day. I know that I’m not alone…I have no idea why I so often run on by myself like this. If you know what that feels like, take another look at these lyrics and join me in letting go today:

My help comes from the Lord
And I don’t have to carry this anymore
Let the world bring me to my knees
I’m holding on to God
‘Cause I know my God is holding on to me

And I’m finally letting go
Giving it all to the One who’s in control
Gonna fight the battle on my knees
I’m holding on to God
‘Cause I know my God is holding on to me
