The Message cover
01. Lay It All On The Line
Album: The Message
Artist: 4HIM
 

So don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your life

There are treasures that I have possessed
Meant the world to me
But they never fill the emptiness
I needed something more than these

In the middle of my wilderness
God reached down to me
When I let go to His tenderness
I found His love was more than I ever dreamed

CHORUS
So don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your life
Just lay it all on the line
Gotta make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the line

It's a matter of surrendering
Every hidden fear
And by letting go of everything
Jesus will meet you there

In the heart of everyone of us
There's a call to faith
Even though we'll never measure up
That's why the Savior, that's why the Savior came

REPEAT CHORUS (2X)

BRIDGE
Gone are the days of holding on
This is the time to surrender
Now is the moment you've got to let it go
Just let go
Just let go

Just let it go now

Don't go wastin', wastin' your time
Gotta make up, make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the line

REPEAT CHORUS
