Leave It To Jesus

LEAVE IT TO JESUS
Lyric by Paula Breedlove

VERSE 1:
WHEN HEROD FOUND PETER AND BOUND HIM IN CHAINS
DEEP IN THAT PRISON THE LORD’S ANGEL CAME
SAID “PETER ARISE,” TOOK HIS SHACKLES AWAY
AND PAST 16 SOLDIERS LED HIM OUT THE GATE

VERSE 2:
SO BEFORE YOU SURRENDER TO SORROW AND GRIEF
AND YOU START BELIEVING YOU’LL NEVER BE FREE
FROM TRIALS AND TROUBLES - HEARTACHE AND PAIN
LEAVE IT TO JESUS - TO BREAK THOSE CHAINS

CHORUS:
LEAVE IT TO JESUS - TO KNOW WHAT TO DO
LEAVE IT TO JESUS - TO CARRY YOU THROUGH
LET GO OF YOUR BURDENS - HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH
AND LEAVE IT TO JESUS - TO SHOW YOU THE WAY

VERSE 3:
IN TEMPEST TOSSED WATERS WITH NO LAND IN SIGHT
FAINT HEARTED DISCIPLES WERE TREMBLING WITH FRIGHT
BUT WHEN JESUS BROUGHT CALM TO ROUGH WATERS THEY KNEW
THERE WASN’T ANYTHING HE COULDN’T DO

VERSE 4:
SO WHEN SHADOWS OF DARKNESS HANG OVER YOUR HEAD
AND CLOUD BLUE HORIZONS WITH GRAY SKIES AND DREAD
TO MOVE ON WITH COURAGE AS LIGHTNING STRIKES NEAR
LEAVE IT TO JESUS - TO CONQUER THE FEAR

CHORUS:
LEAVE IT TO JESUS - TO KNOW WHAT TO DO
LEAVE IT TO JESUS - TO CARRY YOU THROUGH
LET GO OF YOUR BURDENS - HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH
AND LEAVE IT TO JESUS - TO SHOW YOU THE WAY
