All my life-time plans
I got 'em in my hands
Balancing my fate upon a wire
Got to let it go
Everywhere I turn I see
There's nowhere left to go
All my dreams are far
Too much for me to hold
Still I hate to drop them
Weren't they from you?
What did I do?

You are the one that can see
Into the heart of me
Am I really giving up tomorrow?
Got, got, got to let it go
This is gonna hurt a little
Still it's right I know
Got to let it --
Even though I fear
Too much of me might show
I can't wait any longer for it
I've had enough!
I'll give it up!

Lord, here's my heart
I've been keeping it from you
And I got to let it go
Holding on just breaks me, worry
Got to let it go
Come and take it from me, hurry
Got to let it go
Go to let it -- got to let it go
Got to give up all of my control!

Holding on too tight
Where do I lose sight?
Where's the lamb that seems to bring frustration
Go to let it go
The best of dreams can turn to nightmares
When my heart takes hold
How long must I learn?
This lesson's getting old
I've got to catch a clearer vision
I'm in Your hands!
You're in command!

Lord, here's my heart (here's my heart, here's my heart)
I've been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go
Holding on just breaks me, worry
Got to let it go
Come and take it from me, hurry
Got to let it go
Oh, I've got to let it go
Got to give up all of my control!

Lord, here's my heart (here's my heart, here's my heart)
I've been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go
Holding on just breaks me, worry
Got to let it go
Come and take it from me, hurry
Got to let it go
Oh, I've got to let it go
Got to give up all of my control!

Lord, here's my heart (here's my heart, here's my heart)
I've been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go
Holding on just breaks me, worry
Got to let it go
Come and take it from me, hurry
Got to let it go
Oh, I've got to let it go
Got to give up all of my control!

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
