To give it to God, you have to first let go of it yourself. One way to do this is to throw it all in the air...
lyrics
I am going to take and throw it in the air.
And I hope that when it lands she will still be there.
For to behold her beauty and her red hair
Her face finally before me unflinching as I stare,
Is a pure blue sky of glory full of spring time air.
So I am gonna take it and throw it all in the air.
Silently I'm waiting for chaos to undo her pride.
And redraw the map with me now by her side.
So her eyes are un-retracted and she does no longer hide,
From the implications of the train we ride,
In the night I’m pacing and here I will reside
Silently I'm waiting for chaos to undo her pride.
So I am quiet now but soon that time will come
My confidence is shaky but I must trust what has begun.
Perhaps when the spring is over we'll talk of love in summer Sun
Taking time to grow the sapling before the sickle is swung
For it is your love I’m after thats the race I run
But I am quiet now for soon my time will come.
